Wouldn't it be far better after installing lilypond, to present the
user with a cut down tutorial and usage instructions in a read-me
file, and two desktop icons/shortcuts...one for this read-me file, and
the other for invoking lilypond without arguments, which would then
throw out a usage message?
Well, I have no idea. I don't use "user-friendly" operating systems.
:)
But I assume you _do_ want a "user-friendly" lilypond.
I was reminded of my own initial surprise on downloading and running
lilypond for the first time some years back, by the following email earlier
today...

Given that the vast majority of computer users are on windows machines (for
better or worse), I wonder just how many new users (and therefore potential
contributers) confronted with this situation, have _not_ sought help, and
have just given up.
