It is true.

I am obviously not making myself clear, sorry.

If I run CLI then the 'console' is the log file (there is no log file 
created as a separate entity), but get a PDF of the engraved music, NOT 
the 'absolute' output with curly braces.

If I drag/drop on the exe then I get a log file but it DOESN'T contain 
the absolute output.

Example.

Drag and drop method...

Log file:

# -*-compilation-*-
Processing `C:/Users/jlowe/Desktop/test.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Solving 1 page-breaking chunks...[1: 1 pages]
Drawing systems...
Layout output to `/Users/jlowe/Desktop/test.ps'...
Converting to `/Users/jlowe/Desktop/test.pdf'...

CLI Method...

No log file but stdout is

GNU LilyPond 2.13.10
Processing `test.ly'
Parsing...
{ a, cis e fis g }

Interpreting music...
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Solving 1 page-breaking chunks...[1: 1 pages]
Drawing systems...
Layout output to `test.ps'...
Converting to `./test.pdf'...

So the ONLY way to get this absolute output at all is to run it at the CLI.
