Now here's the odd thing.

I decided that shutting UAC off was not a great idea, since it's
protecting me from threats unknown!  So I followed the steps again,
put things back to "Windows Default".  Restarted.  Expected the file
not to compile, but the file (with the one-line-too-many) compiles on
the command line just fine.

I had thought that a better way was to elevate the user privileges of
lilypond.exe, but maybe all it takes to fix the problem is to follow
the solution at the link, then go back to the previous setting?
