Assuming that there's no such file as "asdfg.ly", typing: lilypond asdfg.ly
gives as output: warning: can't find file: `' error: failed files: "asdfg.ly" This makes it appear that the file exists (it failed, after all) but has a bad \include in it somewhere--I just spent a good twenty minutes trying to fix a file that wasn't broken (at least in that respect). Is there any particular reason it doesn't say "can't find file `asdfg.ly'" instead? This happens in 2.8 on both WinXP and Linux.
