Are you using Cygwin? (The fact that you wrote /bin makes me ask.) For
cmd, adding C:\Program Files\lilypond\usr\bin to the path should be enough.
Because I dislike polluting my PATH, I have a c:\bin in the path, then I
add a file called lilypond.bat to that directory with
@echo off
"C:\Apps\Lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe" %*
