Andrew, Thank you very much for the tip! I just installed VirtualBox and Lilypond worked instantly! Qemu is actually a good virtual machine and I have been using it for years with no problems at all, so I never suspected that there was some problem with interaction between Qemu and Lilypond but evidently there is! Since my "host" machine is Windows 7, and the "guest" machine is Debian I can't use the kqemu version which I believe is faster, but this seems more like some bug in the way the virtual machine interacts with some software within Lilypond. i.e. Other programs have no issues including Ghostview and Latex, and ProofPower. I appreciate you taking the time to make that suggestion! -Dave
