When you run ly2dvi -V (verbose), you get to see the error:
ly2dvi -V beatiful_love
...
(./beatiful_love.tex (/home/fred/usr/share/lilypond/tex/lilyponddefs.tex
! Misplaced alignment tab character &.
\lilypondcomposer ->Music by V. Young, W. King &
W. Van Alstyne
l.19 ...pondtitle\undefined\else\makelilypondtitle
\fi
Which is caused by:
> composer = "Music by V. Young, W. King & W. Van Alstyne "
This text is processed by LaTeX, and
.. you can't use stray '&' characters in [La]TeX. (Hmm, maybe we should
check/warn for that?).
So, try:
composer = "Music by V. Young, W. King \& W. Van Alstyne "
Greetings,
Jan.
BTw, would you care to turn off html email?
