OK I think I understand what needs to be done here - after suffering  
similar issues trying to learn (fight with?) awk using a windows cmd shell.  
Windows cmd shell does have problems with escaping certain characters  
although I believe (unless anyone tells me differently) that if you added a  
-doption in a 'file' and called lilypond or lilypond-book then the  
weirdness goes away and you get the 'expected' behaviour (at least you do  
in awk). Also while this is problematic with Windows, I also believe that  
other unix shells could have similar, if not exactly the same issue.
