Please, always specify which Lilypond version you use. Also, as soon as you get a short cryptic error message like this, rerun ly2dvi with the flag '-V' to see more details on what actually failed.
In this case it's actually not LaTeX but Lilypond that breaks as can be seen from the line warning: lilypond: command exited with value 139 (ignored) in your output. I tried your file with version 1.5.63 without any problem, but 1.4.14 broke with a segmentation fault, so it may be that you hit one of the intricate memory handling bugs that were fixed in version 1.5.63. I recommend to upgrade. /Mats > Hello-- > > I've been working on a full orchestral score for a while and have begun > running into a perplexing problem.
