Yes, The problem lied namely there. Thank you.

Usually I don't try to typeset Title, poet, composer and so on via lilypond.
It is often necessary for me to make a plain text and a music fragments
side-by-side in single document (such as music manual or analytic article).
For my puposes it is more convenient to work in a way described below:
I prepare music.ly file containing music and lyrics only -- without titles.
After that I produce music.tex file via:
$ lilypond music.ly
Futhermore, I make piece.tex file like this:
%====================================
\documentclass[a4paper]{book}
\begin{document}
\centerline{Title}
\flushright{Composer}
\input{music.tex}
\end{document}
%======================================
And later, I produce piece.dvi file via:
$ latex piece.tex
To automate the process I use Makefile like this:
#==============================
piece.dvi : piece.tex music.tex
latex $<
music.tex : music.ly
lilypond $<
#==============================
With this Makefile, it is possible to activate all the process via single
command:
$ make
Furthermore, I have to produce VERY large (more than 100 pages) music pieces
from time to time. ly2dvi often cannot handle them, but lilypond+latex can.
Thank you.
