Hi Damian,

So, it sounds like LyX is not detecting your lilypond installation. This 
is a bug. Can you please let me know your system and which installer did 
you use for LyX?

Also very useful would be if you can capture the output of the LyX's 
configuration step. To do this you would start lyx from a terminal, 
click the "Tools > reconfigure" menu, then copy&paste what you get in 
the terminal window. Howver, I don't know how to do this on a MS Windows OS.

To set up the converters manually:
In Tools > Preferences > File Handling

In File Formats
Click New, then fill the following:
Format: Lilypond book (LaTeX)
Document format: yes
Vector graphics format: no
Short Name: lilypond-book
Extension: lytex


In Converters
Select these:
From format: Lilypond book (LaTeX)
To format: LaTeX (plain)
Converter: lilypond-book --safe --lily-output-dir=ly-eps $$i
Click Add

Then select these:
From format: Lilypond book (LaTeX)
To format: LaTeX (pdflatex)
Converter: lilypond-book --safe --pdf --latex-program=pdflatex 
--lily-output-dir=ly-pdf $$i
(all on one line; line-wrappings appear due to email client)
Click Add
