I should have seen that :(  Sorry for the noise.

I can't investigate further myself as Windows
does not permit files to be saved with a colon
in the filename.

I have verified it on Mac OS X 10.5.7. The file works fine in other contexts - I can open it with Xcode, for example. But: $ /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond 'Jn3:16.ly'
  GNU LilyPond 2.13.1
  warning: cannot find file: `Jn3:16.ly'
  error: failed files: "Jn3:16.ly"

Mac OS used to prohibit names with ":". It now works from the console. They show up in the GUI (Finder) as names with "/", and vice versa, ":" is still prohibited in the GUI, but "/" translated into ":" on the UNIX level.
