David has correctly identified the problem. The Lilypond parser escapes guile string literals, so #"c:\U..." fails as \U is no escape sequence. So you need to escape each \ by writing \\ instead. As David has said, Lilypond might very well handle / instead of \.
Cheers,
Valentin

Okay, the guile version looks fine. I'll try to look into this, can you please append the file
C:/LilyPond_2-23-3/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/lily/lily.scm
just to be sure?
