I did this yesterday. To trigger the instrumentation go to Edit->Change Preferences ->Externals and set the Graphics Editor field to the single character "x" (without quotes). When this is set every invocation of LilyPond will be accompanied by a dialog giving details of what process should have been spawned and what the result was. There are two such invocations we are interested in: first when the lilypond field is set in the preferences the LilyPond executable is run to find out the version, and then when Typeset is invoked it is run with the needed arguments to generate the PDF. This is in last night's build, but you can save the bother of downloading all 150Mb or so by downloading the actual denemo executable (4.4Mb): http://denemo.org/~jjbenham/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.shared/bin/denemo.exe This needs to replace the denemo.exe which is in the bin folder (which is next to the Denemo.bat that you invoke). You could rename the previous denemo.exe if you are nervous. Richard
