If you're using lilypond-book for LaTeX, the output will be a *.tex file. If the input is allready *.tex, lilypond-book is afraid to overwrite your original document. There are two solutions. Name your input file something like *.lytex. Or do what lilypond-book suggested (best solution). In your working folder, make a new folder named "out" (or anything you like) and execute "lilypond-book --psfonts --output=out mybook.tex". Lilypond-book's output will be placed in .\out\ and won't overwrite the original input file.
Hope it's of any help.
