What happens if you
- copy your test.ly file into C:\cygwin\home\<your login name>\
- Click on the Cygwin icon to get a bash prompt
- Run the command
lilypond test.ly
- If you get a test.pdf in your C:\cygwin\home\<your login name>\
  try to view it.

Please followup to the mailing list.

when i run lilypond test.ly  I get the error Lilypond: command not found

As i have stated before.. I have installed twice from two different ftps 
just to make sure i didnt get bad package. And it does appear that i Recived 
the whole package
