You've found the answer! No, my script wasn't passing command line arguments, and Ctrl-C Ctrl_L in Emacs lilypond-mode was naturally also using my one-line script. Having corrected the script, it now works as expected. What I don't understand is why or how it always used to work, but I suppose there's no point in worrying about that. Anyway, thanks for finding the solution! David
