Hi Matt,

lilypond-book(latex)->Latex(plain) and giving it a path like this:

This looks like a symptom that LyX could not find lilypond. If LyX=E2=80=99=
s configuration works via Tool->Reconfigure, this need not be set =
manually.
> Once I found 2.20.0-1 on the Lilypond site and installed, put in the =

guide, but still had errors on rendering.
I=E2=80=99m not sure if this helps, but there seem cases that conversion =
to get pdf from lilypond via dvipdf or its variants fails. Using other =
paths, e.g. pdflatex or lualatex, may solve the problem.
To use LuaTeX, check Document -> Settings -> Font -> Use non-TeX fonts =
and choose Document -> View PDF (LuaTeX) when output PDF.
Looking into errors more precisely, running Japanese example file =
LilyPond_Book.lyx via dvipdf gets the following error raised by dvipdf:

Ghostscript complains because the following command fails because the =
file name is single quoted.

I cannot confirm this phenomenon with the English example file, so it =
may be related to the use of UTF chars.
