With previous versions of Lilypond (2.12.3,  2.14.2) the GUI programs would
produce, in their console windows:

Starting lilypond-windows.exe 2.12.3 [Concerto in G Major.ly]...
Processing `C:/Users/Public/Music/Concerto in G Major.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
Interpreting music... [8][16][24][32]
Preprocessing graphical objects...
MIDI output to `Concerto in G Major.mid'...
Finding the ideal number of pages...
Fitting music on 1 or 2 pages...
Drawing systems...
Layout output to `Concerto in G Major.ps'...
Converting to `./Concerto in G Major.pdf'...
Completed successfully in 3.4".

This is what is produced from the command line (in terminal mode) as well,
with all versions of Lilypond I've tried.

Using Lilypond 2.16.2 or 2.17, through a GUI program, only the first and
last lines would show. No progress messages; these are always sent to the
log file on disk instead. The consoles might indicate a termination with an
error code; any explanation would be in the log file.

When I've looked at the Python code for Lilypond 2.16, I've seen changes to
the code for logging and printing messages to stdout and stderr.
