(Sigh...)

Still no luck (but thanks for your efforts!)

I've completely stripped every lilypond-mode.el file off my system,
uninstalled LilyPond, reinstalled LilyPond, patched the file, and
nothing. I copied the 50lilypond file to /etc/emacs/site-start.d/,
copied all the lilypond* files from your tarball to
/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/, and it still doesn't work!

I updated my emacs-snapshot, hoping it was a bug somewhere there...
still nothing.

The fact that the patch works for others suggests it's a problem at my
end. I've reported the problem to the Debian BTS (bug number 353712 if
you're interested). My concern there was that installing the
emacs-snapshot package affected the functionality of the stable Emacs
which shouldn't happen. The maintainer managed to convince me the
problem was with LilyPond.

If it's not LilyPond, and it's not Debian, that leaves me!

Grr. A prayer to Saint Ignucius perhaps? I've never used Vim and I don't
plan to start now...
