I ran convert-ly -ed as suggested, and then ran lilypond on the
resulting file to have a look at the embedded example.
Here's the resulting error message (lilypond 2.16.2 on OSX 10.6.8):
Processing `book-titling.ily'
Parsing.../Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../share/guile/1.8/ice-9/regex.scm:180:45:

LilyPond terminated in 0.673 seconds.
Curiously, before spotting the suggested "-ed" options to convert-ly, I
had tried adding a \version "2.14.0" statement to the top of the file
and running convert-ly without options. Eeek!

and, in a spirit of inquiry, thought I might have a look inside
convert-ly:
$

I suspect that there might be a problem with convert-ly on OSX.
kind regards
