Mats -
Thanks for the insight. Pretty #$&@ subtle, especially for a DOS\Windows
guy.
Note that without the #(ly:set-point-and-click 'line-column), the \include
"..\stuff.ly" works fine.
As presented below it also works, just gives the error message:
Error invoking `latex \\nonstopmode \\input test.tex > /dev/null 2>&1 '.
Return value 256
I can't find any documentation of \include other than simple use examples.
It seems some files are included by default, and others are found by
\include without specifying the path. It would be helpful to have this
explained. What files are included by default? What is the search path?
What is the invocation order of included files? When is the ordinary slash,
aka forward slash, aka reverse backslash, required? Etc.

Did you expect me to remember your initial message of this thread? It's over
a week since I read it! ;-)
Seriously, it turns out that the cause of your problem was that you used a
Windows style path instead of Cygwin/Unix style. Just replace the backslash
in \include "..\stuff.ly" with an ordinary slash: \include "../stuff.ly"
For some reason, LilyPond itself understands both of them, but LaTeX
apparently is more critical (probably since backslashes have a very special
meaning in TeX and LaTeX).
