Re: lilybook error ?

[Mats Bengtsson]

What operating system? What LilyPond version?
In general, I would recommend to use the pdflatex support:
lilypond-book --output=out --pdf foo.tex
cd out
pdflatex foo

What I don't understand in your error printouts is the part about 
motets.tex.
First of all, I don't see where the file name comes from but above all I'm
confused since lilypond-book should only call latex before it starts
running lilypond on the different examples, not after as it looks here.

If you use lilypond-book --verbose ..., you will get more information
on what is going on.
