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.

Subject: Lilypond-Book error
I'm running lilypond-book 2.6.3. I tested an article
containing lilypond code according to the instructions at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/lilypond/An-ex
ample-of-a-musicological-document.html#An-example-of-a->
musicological-document , and it worked fine. Then, however,
I ran the program using a more complex document -- a book,
containing a chapter which in turn contained the code
snippet, and this is what I get:
lilypond-book: error: Output would overwrite input file; use --output.
What can be done?
Lyle
