Not a lilypond-book-preamble.ly bug (was RE: -b eps option (was RE: OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1))
It helps if you include the "=" in the -dbackend=eps option. You can see
from my previous message that I read the documentation correctly. We all
make mistakes. :-)
Is it possible to include more helpful error messages for the command line
options, when somebody gets a chance?
It appears that I have OOoLilyPond working now, but there are some issues:
1. The default templates with OOoLilyPond assume simple notes, you have to
modify the templates to delete the { and } before and after the snippet in
order to accept a \score {} block. Since the discussions on the list
indicate that the project is leaning toward requiring \score {} blocks in
the future, the default templates probably need to be updated.
2. The eps images paste into the swriter file transparent, you can't view
and proofread the music until you print -- I can't figure out how to change
this. It's really annoying. The documentation says the image is supposed to
be in low resolution, not invisible.
3. The temporary files are in the C:\WINDOWS\Temp directory, if you have
find the OOoLilypond.ly and OOoLilypond.out files to debug a problem.
Looking at the OOoLilypond.ly file is the only way to see how your music
snippet really looks to the LilyPond compiler.

Thanks, Graham.
I failed to mention that the -dbackend=eps option works outside of OOo. I
verified that before making the changes to Subs.xba.
I think this is some other script error inside OOoLilypond passing a bad
value to Lilypond, but I don't have a clue from the LilyPond error message
where to look.
Even thinking about using LaTeX and LilyPondBook gives me chills. And while
LilyPond is great at handling musical notation, it is horrible at handling
text outside of a score (which is completely understandable - because that's
not what it's designed for). OOoLilypond looks like it could be a real
production tool for laying out hymnbooks and worship services, etc., by
combining the strengths of LilyPond and OOoWriter. I'm really excited to see
if I can get it working and try it out.

Bug in lilypond-book-preamble (was RE: -b eps option (was RE: OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1))
I narrowed the problem down to lilypond-book-preamble.ly
lilypond -dbackend eps lilypond-book-preamble.ly

ERROR: In procedure symbol->string

I haven't made any changes, but here is the contents of
lilypond-book-preamble.ly ... maybe someone on the list can find the bug.
The only thing I could do would be comment out each line one at a time, but
I still wouldn't know what the correct syntax should be.

All I had to change in my lilypond files to include complete scores was adding \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly". To get inline snippets, you can add a ragged-right.

Re: -b eps option (was RE: OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1)
I would recommend you to first make sure that the lilypond command
works correctly when you run in from a command prompt. Once you
have that working, you could integrate it with OOolilypond.
I just tried your example and it runs just fine with
lilypond -dbackend=eps testfile.ly
