Hmm. I don't believe the current install creates an association that allows
you to double click to run Lilypond. I think you either must have done this
years ago, or a very old install did it, and associated .ly files with
something like c:\Program Files\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe.
If you want 2.16 to be the default, rename your old lilypond directory to
something like lilypond214 and install 2.16. Then if you want to use 2.14,
right click the .ly file, choose "Open with" and browse to the old version of
lily.
Or, as Thomas says, use the command line and set your path statement to point
to your lilypond .exe of choice.

Ok I can put it in a different directory (I'm pretty sure) but your 'depends'
makes me leary that it's not straight forward in the running.
At the moment all I do and have done for years is create a piece in an editor
save it to a folder click on file in the folder.
If I have to do something else .... what is that?
Thanks for the start.

Depends a little on how you run it, but installing in a separate directory
keeps the 2 quite separate. I currently have 68 versions installed.

After starting a rather large, to me, flurry a bit ago...... I was going
to -today- install 2.16 but due to having a large opera in 2.14 and never
successfully converting I want and was told it was possible to have both.
Win7
But I don't know how to do it..
Thanks
