Another shot: if what you need is to compile all *.ly below a folder, this might serve: find . -name '*.ly' | while read i; do lilypond "$i"; done Using read takes care of whitespace. Or, more compact: find . -name '*.ly' -exec lilypond '{}' \; Although this won't work if the file must be inside a folder complying with the number pattern.
