Re: lilypond-book bug

[David Bobroff]

I understand the reasons.  I don't have any argument against the way it
works now.  I think the point I should have made more clearly was that if
this is how LilyPond works now it represents a change from its previous
behavior.  As such, it left me with some confusion until I realized what
was going on.  The docs did not lead me to believe that lilypnd-book no
longer made *.latex files as it had been doing in the past.

Thanks,

David
