Thanks for all of the feedback, guys.  Sorry for being prickly, Mats, 
but I get that way when someone suggests I haven't read the manual.  I 
have working commands that happen to be slightly different than what's 
in the manual.

Just a reminder of my follow-up from last night (see above), which 
explained that the problem was likely in my build of lilypond from the 
latest git, since everything worked normally when I installed the 
2.11.65 pre-compiled binary.

For reference, when I run the command "latex" the program that responds 
is "pdfTeXk".

The instruction to run dvipdf on the dvi file come from the LaTeX 
manual, not the Lilypond manual, and this has always worked for me so I 
don't bother with dvips.

Best,

Jon
