Re: lilypond-book doesn't work in Windows

[Mats Bengtsson]

I have now patched lilypond-book in CVS to avoid the
problem with unlink(tmpfile).

Regarding the error message:
===========================
Converting to `lily-1281099914.eps.pdf'...
error: failed files: "Documents\\lily' Settings\\mabe\\My and"

lilboook.py: error: Process lilypond -b eps -I  'C:\Documents and 
Settings\mabe\
My Documents\lily' snippet-map.ly lily-1158580316 lily-577093479 
lily-1281099914
exited unsuccessfully.
===========================
The message comes from lilypond itself (when called
from lilypond-book) and the error goes away if I replace
the single quotes around the argument to -I by double
quotes. However, I don't know the most convenient way
to do this in Python, since the (undocumented) function
commands.mkarg() that you use currently gives you single
quotes.
