Re: latex error message

[Mats Bengtsson]

Did you expect me to remember your initial message of this
thread? It's over a week since I read it! ;-)

Seriously, it turns out that the cause of your problem was that
you used a Windows style path instead of Cygwin/Unix style.
Just replace the backslash in
\include "..\stuff.ly"
with an ordinary slash:
\include "../stuff.ly"

For some reason, LilyPond itself understands both of them, but
LaTeX apparently is more critical (probably since backslashes
have a very special meaning in TeX and LaTeX).
