0. What OS are you using ?

1. What shell are you running ? ( The script was made for sh or bash )

2. What line did you add at the top ?

3. Is "filename.ly" an existing, correct lilypond file or are you trying 
to start a new project ? To script needs either an error free existing 
lilypond file, or a new filename + an existing error free 
LILYPOND_INITFILE defined in the header of the script. Did you edit the 
variable LILYPOND_INITFILE to point to a valid lilypond file that you 
want to use as a template ? 

4. Another thing to try: make sure the file has unix lineendings by 
running the dos2unix utility on it. Sometimes mail clients screw up 
attachments. I'll attach a gzipped version of the script to prevent 
this. Maybe you could also try this one.

5. Currently the only way to quit the script is hitting Control-C. A 
little bit rude, I admit. If anyone can think of a more elegant solution 
please let me know.

We should be able to make things work. No problems on my system.
