An addendum: I can run lilypond-book successfully using HTML. The problem
would then seem to be with Latex. I can run Latex standalone; I am using the
TeXLive 2010 distribution, and I write .tex files in LEd, from which I run
pdfLatex. This all works fine. (Root directory is c:\texlive, which contains
..\2010 and ..\texmf-local)

I'm pretty new to Latex but as a musicologist I have a keen interest in
getting it to work with lilypond-book. Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Max
