Ah, yes.  But I would rather not feed the average lilypond user a C
represenation of a string, most of our users are not programmers.
This

   %token BOOK "\\book"

is into this

    "\"\\\\book\""

which will print as

    bison.ly:8:5: error: syntax error, unexpected "\\book", expecting '{'

The extra backslash is not helpful.  Hmm.
