Re: emacs question

Yes, my original post, I posted the error message from emacs:
-*- 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
GNU LilyPond 2.11.57
warning: cannot find file: `/Users/jamesebailey/Documents/James'
warning: cannot find file: `Music/Choral'
warning: cannot find file: `Music/Dad/Litany/Litany.ly'
error: failed files: "Music/Dad/Litany/Litany.ly Music/Choral /Users/ 
jamesebailey/Documents/James"

There you can see that it's not escaping the filename correctly.

I just wish someone with a little elisp help could point me toward the  
part of whichever file determines how the file is processed in emacs  
so I could learn enough to be able to add " " to it.
