Re: convert-ly

Python is in Lilypond's bin folder which you already put in your path.

On my Windows 10 VM system (multiple versions of lilypond installed) the command convert-ly worked (no explicit python invocation and no need for the .py extension suffix)
 I'll see if I still have some virgin snapshot of a VM to try and see what should be done apart from the Lillypond install itself.

On the given system I had to disable some python placeholder that referred me with a message to the App execution setting 'App Installer' when invoking python as a command to make it work. No clue whether that was due to any of the installed applications or a native setting of Windows 10 (have Mac OS as a daily driver OS AND windows VM only for rare cases where I need Windows)

or do I need to have some reference to Python in my PATH command?  If so, what should it look like?

Hi all,

Thanks for your many and informative responses. M.Tarenskeen correctly identified a typo in my PATH command ("C;" instead of "C:"). I corrected that, but the problem still persists. Here's my latest info from the Command Prompt:
===
C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\RPC\Music\FILE>echo %PATH%
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin;C:\Users\Jerry\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;

C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\RPC\Music\FILE>convert-ly *.ly
'convert-ly' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
===
Note: I tried both convert-ly and convert-ly.py, and neither one works for me.

At some iteration in the past, the PATH command was "[pre-set paths];C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin;"

Is it necessary to have the [pre-set paths] and the quotation marks?

For what it's worth, I didn't have this problem: that was Jerry
Starks. Is he now happy? I was merely concerned that I was watching a
conversation that seemed to include no doubt well-intentioned but
misleading responses, including simple reference to the inaccurate
documentation.
