Sorry, that doesn't help - I'm using the GUI application on Mac OS X, 
not a version that runs from the command line.

The ReadMe file that came with the installer provides a shell script 
that uses Python to call Lilypond, and I've been able to use this in 
conjunction with jEdit, but I don't know how I would modify this script 
to get different output formats.
