"harmless" - thanks for the confirmation.

As for "the -d option", I find this in the console output for "lilypond -h";

  -d, --define-default=SYM[=VAL]      set Scheme option SYM to VAL 
(default: #t).
                                        Use -dhelp for help.

Regrettably, that's not language for mere mortals, so I can't make any 
sense of it.
