and the "text_test01.tex" file looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\begin{document}

Documents for @command{lilypond-book} may freely mix music and text.
For example,

\begin{lilypond}
\relative c' {
  c2 g'2 \times 2/3 { f8 e d } c'2 g4
}
\end{lilypond}

Options are put in brackets.

\begin[fragment,quote,staffsize=26,verbatim]{lilypond}
  c'4 f16
\end{lilypond}

Larger examples can be put into a separate file, and introduced with
\verb+\lilypondfile+.

\lilypondfile[quote,noindent]{screech-boink.ly}

\end{document}
------------------------------------------------------------

what am i doing wrong here? has someone an example which guaranteed works?
