I've never used this feature of LilyPond mode, and don't know why it seems not to register in the search path. But I noticed your absolute path in the \include starts with "/home/Laurie/" but the search path setting has "/home/laurie". Directory names are case sensitive, and home directories are usually lower case, so I suspect "/home/Laurie/" is a typo. -David
