LilyPond-Book on Windows

[Br. Samuel Springuel]

I'm having trouble using lilypond-book on my Windows machine.  The 
program sees to hang during the initial run of the typesetting engine 
that's used to determine the page settings.  In this case, by hang I 
mean that everything proceeds normally up to this point, but then 
nothing happens, even if left for several hours, until I eventually use 
a KeyboardInterrupt to arrest the process.

This happens with two different typesetting engines (lualatex and 
pdflatex), both of which work on other documents.  This leads me to 
suspect that there's a problem in lilypond-book itself.

Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

The contents of my command line (the first process was arrested after 
running for 5 hours, the second had been running for 15 minutes and was 
still ongoing at the time of writing this email):
