The lilypond 2.1.13.41-1 version of gs was crashing in LyX. I was able to get this version of gs working in a shell by setting specific environment variables, but I could not find a way to set these variables for LyX, so I could not get instant preview (or DVI output) of lilypond scores within LyX.
I was able to work around this by putting the lilypond bin path at the END of the path variable set in LyX -> Preferences. Then, LyX would pick up a different version of gs that didn't crash. Now it works fine. Again, I reported the bug to lilypond developers, and hopefully in a later version it will be addressed. Thanks!
