I cannot speak for Windows 7 because i'm still on XP but as a fellow-
noober and having gone through all
this too recently I have a couple of notes that may help:

- I don't use cygwin and i usually don't install clojure explicitly
- Downloaded the lein.bat from https://raw.github.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein.bat
- I'm not aware of any other requirements for lein (though I already
had ant and maven so I'm not sure)
- Make sure it's found in PATH
- lein self-install
- lein plugin install swank-clojure 1.4.2 (this installs it so that
you don't need it in project.clj
  every time)
- lein new overtone-test
- cd overtone-test
- edit project.clj (note that i'm using clojure 1.3.0):

(defproject overtone-test "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :description "FIXME: write description"
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.3.0"]
                 [overtone "0.6.0"]])

- lein deps

Emacs:
- I used http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-20120319-r107630-bin-i38...
(using emacs 24
  is easier than < 24)
- Create/update ~/.emacs.d/init.el (~ refers to whatever you have set
as %HOME%) and added

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)

- Start emacs
- M-x package-refresh-contents
- instead of using the whole live coding setup for emacs I wanted to
start as simple as possible,
  from here on you can use M-x package-install to install other emacs
packages
- M-x package-install RET starter-kit-lisp RET
  you'll get some compilation warnings, don't worry about them, it
doesn't include clojure-mode so
- M-x package-install RET clojure-mode RET

From here on you should be able to go by opening a .clj from your
project, M-x clojure-jack-in.

- for me the live server didn't work and from other messages in this
group i saw that others
  also didn't get the live server to work on windows, i therefor
always start SC separately
  and connect to it from the REPL using (connect-external-server
57110)

As always YMMV but after having gone through several older emacs/swank/
slime recipes in hindsight
all was simpler than I initially thought or what some of these recipes
made it look like.

It's a bummer that I found Overtone only a couple of days before my
holidays ends since I will have
less time to play with it from next week ;-(
