Hi Tony

Sorry, it's difficult to test here as I don't have a more recent python 
installed.  But it seems like you'll have to specify complete paths to the 
python interpreter and convert-ly, like this (all one command):

C:\Users\Trevor>"C:/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/bin/python.exe" "C:/Program 
Files/LilyPond/usr/bin/convert-ly.py" -h

If this works at least you can execute it in the directory containing the 
LilyPond source code.

As it's midnight I'm closing down for tonight.  I'll check again tomorrow.

Trevor
