I'm trying to put sharps and flats into lyrics (really figures for
figured bass), and I get:

        Running LaTeX...
        error: latex: command exited with value 256

Which when you run the latex turns out to be:

I think I have the right number of dollar signs in my input.  Is there
a problem with math mode in lyrics?
