rather than passing the argument list from find -- which returns at
current count 3753 files:

address@hidden lilypond-1.8.0]$ find | wc -l
   3753

try using the recursive flag (-r) to grep:

address@hidden lilypond-1.8.0]$ grep -r TODO * | wc -l
    752

that works... :) 

NB: it seems the -r flag is GNU specific -- that command does not work
on a solaris system.

however, on a system not using GNU grep, you could try the following (in
bash or sh):

$ cd $LILYSRC
$ for i in `find . -type d` ; do grep TODO ${i}/* ; done
