I beleive lilypond-command-master uses (buffer-file-name) to return a
filename to send to the command.

Im not on a mac, but you could test this:

Visit the file you want to send (by C-c C-c) in emacs

Type (withouth the quotes)

'M-: (buffer-file-name)'

and see if it returns the whole filename inside double-quotes.  Please
tell us what comes out.

-anders

M-: (buffer-file-name) returned

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

with the quotes

Oh, and for the record:

16:27:32 jamesebailey ~:lilypond "foo bar"

GNU LilyPond 2.11.58

Warnung: Datei »foo bar« kann nicht gefunden werden

Fehler: failed files: "foo bar"

So, if I understand correctly,

1) buffer-file-name is a correctly escaped filename

2) escaped files are correctly understood by bash

3) using compile, I can send lilypond "/Users/jamesebailey/Documents/James Music/Choral Music/Dad/Litany/Litany.ly" and it processes fine:

-*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "~/Documents/James Music/Choral Music/Dad/Litany/" -*- Compilation started at Wed Sep 10 16:35:32

…

Converting to `./Litany.pdf'...

Compilation finished at Wed Sep 10 16:35:42

4)Using (C-c C-l) in emacs, the filename isn't escaped:

-*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "~/Documents/James Music/Choral Music/Dad/Litany/" -*-

Compilation started at Wed Sep 10 16:37:52

5) As can be seen from the output, when I type in the quotes, lilypond processes a filename with quotes. When I use C-c C-l, lilypond is processing a filename without quotes.

6) I think somewhere, the quotes are being stripped.

On other platforms using emacs, does the output look similar? Are there quotes in the same places (or not)?
