Yes, but as long as you run it using the command "latex" it should run
in latex mode and not
in pdflatex mode. If you look at the printouts from the latex command,
you can see the difference.
As long as it runs in latex mode, it will among other output a line like:
(.../tex/latex/graphics/dvips.def)))
and a number of <lily-xxxxx-x.eps>
whereas if you run pdflatex, the corresponding output messages will be
something like
(.../tex/latex/graphics/pdftex.def)))
and a number of <lily-xxxxx-x.pdf>

Thanks for the explanation, Mats. It all makes perfect sense and maybe
I haven't had problems yet just because I've been lucky. I changed
"latex" to "pdflatex" in my script and the result looks exactly the same
but if pdflatex is more appropriate then I'm happy to use it.
The problem I had was clearly related to my build of lilypond yesterday,
so that's the only thing I need to figure out now. I've built LP from
source many times and had no problems with processing lilypond-book
files before, so I don't know what happened. If someone else happened
to build LP yesterday and has the same problem then it might be a bug,
otherwise I'll assume my build had a failure somewhere. It processed
regular lilypond files perfectly, but the dvi files created from
lilypond-book and then latex (or as you say, pdfTeXk running in regular
latex mode) failed to convert to pdf.
Thanks again for the detailed explanation and renewed apologies for my
grumpiness. :)
Jon
