LilyPond is probably fairly different from most other programs you
have experienced before and it's definitely one where you have to
read at least the tutorial before you can do anything useful at all.
So, start with the Windows specific instructions at
http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html and then go on
to
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Tutorial.html
Regarding Finale files, there is a small program etf2ly that can
be used to convert them to LilyPond, see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-etf2ly.html
Unfortunately, there have been several reports on the mailing list
that this conversion program has several bugs and limitations.

Hi--
I have downloaded the software, and installed it, but when I try to
start the program (by clicking on lilypond-bin, I get a message that it
can't run because the computer cannot locate cygwin1.dll . I have
reinstaled everythign everal times, but I get the same message. What
should I try?
I am using a Dell P4 1.6 ghz, Windows XP.
Also, once I get it going, how do I import a Finale 2004 file into Lilypond?
Thank you!
