Many of lilypond's scripts and modules will produce a python traceback 
on an ABEND, Laura.  Do you mean that you would expect lilypond-book to 
exit gracefully after emitting the error message?  At the moment, I 
think this would be an enhancement request, so before I put it on the 
tracker, I'll be glad of any detail you can add.
