I am trying to embed a music engraving in a LaTeX document and am following
the example given at
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/an-example-of-a-musicological-document.
My example is a bit simpler than what is given in the documentation. I
have named this file lilylatexly.lytex
-----------------------
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
Documents for \verb+lilypond-book+ may freely mix music and text.
For example,
\begin{lilypond}
\relative c' {
c2 e2 \tuplet 3/2 { f8 a b } a2 e4
}
\end{lilypond}
Options are put in brackets.
\begin{lilypond}[fragment,quote,staffsize=26,verbatim]
c'4 f16
\end{lilypond}
\end{document}
-----------------------------
When I run the lilypond-book python script to process the .lytex file, the
process starts, then hands and I get this python error traceback when I
kill the process with Ctrl-C:
c:\Labs>lilypond-book --output=out --pdf lilylatexly.lytex
lilypond-book.py (GNU LilyPond) 2.22.0
Reading `c:\Labs\lilylatexly.lytex'
Running `pdflatex' on file
`C:\Users\XXXXX~1\AppData\Local\Temp\tmphrkt8nkt.tex' to detect default
page settings.

-----------------------------------
NOTES:
(1) I am running python 3.7; I don't have any versions of python 2.X on my
PC. I had seen in discussion threads that I needed to have a newer version
of lilypond so that python 3 would work with the lilypond-book python
scripts. I removed my older version of lilypond and now have V2.22.0
installed.
(2) I had to rename lilypond-book to lilypond-book.py so that Windows 10
recognized it as a python script.
(3) This example works fine with my linux installation of lilypond 2.22.0.
(4) From the python traceback there is some locking going on. I don't know
if this is some problem with write access to files? Do I need to invoke
the script with ADMIN privileges?
Thank you for your help in resolving this problem.
