Conor,
Can you post the source files you're working with? I can't tell from
just the error logs what is going on. Also, what version of lilypond
are you working with?
AFAIK, lilypond-book 2.18.2 doesn't work on Windows. Versions >= 2.19.4
can be made to work, but not out of the box. First there's a problem
with directory names in that lilypond-book doesn't like the "~#"
shorthand aliases that Windows uses for long directory names. One can
work around this by changing the temporary directory and choosing your
filenames carefully (they must not be longer than 8 characters). There
are also some additional problems with the linewidth detection
compilation run. Manually setting the line-width option for each
included piece of music allows one to get around this problem.
For more information I advise looking at the following thread on the
lilypond users mailing list:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-04/msg00357.html
Furthermore, the Lilypond-Book.engine that greg-lily-book relies on
doesn't work on Windows. This has to do with the fact that it calls
posix commands directly for some of its operations, commands which
Windows doesn't recognize. Nicolas Vitacolonna (the author of the
engine) and I (as tester) started work on converting the engine to use
perl packages which would call the commands appropriate to the OS, but
ran into problems created by the current state of lilypond-book 2.18.2.
Given the above mentioned issues, I haven't been motivated to try and
get this development restarted since the changes in 2.19.4 at least made
lilypond-book workable. Nor have I been motivated to work out a
complete work around in bat format.
