This script will not work with lilypond-book 2.11 (and thus 2.12), as
psfonts lilypond-book option has been removed.  And if the final output
format you want is PDF, using pdfLaTeX is generally  preferable over the
LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf route (unless you use LaTeX packages
incompatible with pdfLaTeX).  For more details, see lilypond-book
documentation for version 2.11, issues related to LaTeX processing still
apply to 2.10.
