Okay, I have my images and lilypond-book all sorted out. I wasn't  
understanding my output correctly, and I have to copy images to the - 
o folder (I figured lilypond-book would do that for me).

Regarding my pdflatex option, I have no problems using \usepackage 
[pdftex]{graphicx} with lilypond-book, as long as I explicitly state  
--latex-program=pdflatex as a lilypond-book option. Which is fine  
with me. I also have no problems using \usepackage{graphicx} with  
lilypond-book, and I don't even have to explicitly state the latex  
program as a lilypond-book option.

And Patrick says he has the typo in git with regards to the .pdftex  
extension sorted out.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me with this. Now I can go back  
to writing.
