OK, I'll work on that next.

Will be done soon.


Erik, if you want a simple example of lilypond-book (and if you would
like to help bughunt :), you could look at point #2 of
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2004-09/msg00266.html

I'd like to test if the bug occurs on your non-OSX system, or whether 
it's
an OSX-specific problem.  Since you're new to lilypond-book, the chain
of commands is
lilypond-book bar.lytex; latex bar.tex; dvips bar.dvi -o bar.ps; ps2pdf 
bar.ps
