This is correct. If you look at the console (umm... this would depend
on the way you run lilypond, I guess?), you should see a bunch of
extra text that you wouldn't see if the \displayLilyMusic wasn't
there.
The >display.txt just saves that extra text into a separate file,
instead of forcing people to scroll back through their console output
to find the stuff they want to see.
