More than one \book?

I've wondered about this for a while. In the following section of the doc it says: 10.4.1 Paper size . . .if the \paper block is at the top of the file, then it will apply to all pages. If the \paper block is inside a \book, then the paper size will only apply to that book. The

I have a \book in which one of the scores is only three staves long. These got spread across the page, of course, and I wanted to have a more normal spacing. Rummaging around in the archives brought up the raggedbottom and raggedlastbottom concepts. I tried both of these, both in \paper and

Typing lilypond at the Windows command prompt produces no result. Whereas, from the Cygwin console I get the default sample .ly file. I can compile a .ly file from Cygwin but not from the Windows prompt. Why? It seems the only way I can send a .ly file to the Windows install is by dragging

I, like many, failed to get the Cygwin version to run completely. What is the status of that package? I had tried to uninstall 2.6 and go back to the previous level, but can't get that to run any more. A related question is, what is the approved way of installing Lilypond on Windows.
