Of course it is.
I have not dealt with the so called memory restrictions of dos for years.
I have 784 meg of ram on this pure dos machine alone.
with protected modes and other tools memory is a breeze.
However no one said anything about running lillypond from dos, unless
another person started that thread.
At least in my case, since I use dsl in dos daily including using ssh
TELNET into the ubuntu shell of dreamhost and shellworld of course, then,
with a properly constructed Linux box, then I will just ssh TELNET into
it from my dos machine.
Granted such a thing as a properly constructed Linux box is at least in my
personal experience, far more of a challenge than breaking the DOS memory
barrier, but I know the milliage of others varies.
I would never discourage a person from trying lillypond in dos though if
they wanted.
reach out to their support team and ask.
I have a copy of lillypond that i downloaded ages back that could run in
DOS. additionally I know an associate who did it as well.
Running Lillypond in dos was never my intention as my post indicated, but
given the flexibility of dos
especially editions like freedos that are still under development, then
why not?

Are you serious? The Lilypond executable alone is 4.5 megs. How's that
supposed to even run within the 640K confines of DOS? Let alone the
required libraries to compile the binary?
I recall that DJGPP (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJGPP )’s executables
could access more RAM than that using
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS_Protected_Mode_Interface (DPMI). So it may be
possible.
