emacs question

[James E. Bailey]

I don't know if this is true for anyone else, but, when I try and use  
emacs (22.2.1) on OSX in my terminal, I can't compile on the master  
file and file where there is a space in the filename. For example:
-*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "~/Documents/James Music/ 
Choral Music/Dad/Litany/" -*-
Compilation started at Mon Sep  8 15:24:38

lilypond /Users/jamesebailey/Documents/James Music/Choral Music/Dad/ 
Litany/Litany.ly

warning: cannot find file: `Music/Dad/Litany/Litany.ly'
error: failed files: "Music/Dad/Litany/Litany.ly Music/Choral /Users/ 
jamesebailey/Documents/James"

But, if I just move the file to a path that has no spaces, I don't get  
this error. I have looked for a while about this, and I don't know how  
to resolve it. The few emacs people I've asked say that it's a problem  
with lilypond-mode. I don't see anything in the documentation about it  
(I imagine it wasn't very heavily tested on OSX). Is there anyone who  
has had a similar problem and found a way around it?

I can, however compile a file in emacs if I run the compile command on  
the buffer, that, however, makes a temp file, and it really isn't  
useful for me.
