What I thought I was reading from the output. 'My understanding' would  
have been a better phrase.

I think I'm getting you. include-XYZ should be a complete directory  
path, and not based off the current directory? If so, then:

Yossarian:~/tchai_op35 spamguy$ lilypond-book --process='lilypond-bin  
-I include-Users/spamguy/tchai_op35/mvmt1' --output=out/  
tchai_op35_book.tex

...means to search in the current directory (Users/spamguy/tchai_op35)  
and the supplied path (Users/spamguy/tchai_op35/mvmt1)? Trying this  
doesn't work either, so I must be missing something still.
