Problems with --init

[Steven Weber]

Lilypond 2.19.27

Windows 8.1

 

Global.ily:

\version "2.19.27"

\language "english"

 

Test.ly:

\score

{

                \new Staff

                {

                                c' d' e' f'

                }

}

 

When I try running "lilypond -init=Global.ily Test.ly", I get:

error: unknown escaped string: `\language'

 

If I change Test.ly to \include "Global.ily", then things work as expected.
