thanks!

i think the whole issue comes from the two lines 279 & 280 in convert-ly.py:
    opt_parser = get_option_parser()
    (options, args) = opt_parser.parse_args ()
which return the filename split at each blank if it is not enclosed in
triple quotes.
you can verify this by printing these arguments:
  print (options, args)

these two lines also appear in the other converting routines (midi2ly, 
musicxml2ly, abc2ly, etf2ly) and i have verified that midi2ly also works
when using triple double quotes!

i don't know if anybody could change the behaviour of this routine…?!

finally IMO it's worth to mention that calling these routines with a
wildcard is also working (as long as no blank is involved in your calling
statement):
  convert-ly -e *.ly
  convert-ly -e "myfiles*.ly"

this will convert all corresponding .ly files, even if they have blanks in
their name!
