Hmm, this seems to work just fine here on Linux (notice that the current 
directory contains a space, and the test file, too. Quoting them either way 
works just fine):

address@hidden:~/temp/test dir$ musicxml2ly test\ with\ spaces.xml
Reading MusicXML from test with spaces.xml ...
Converting to LilyPond expressions...
Output to `test with spaces.ly'
address@hidden:~/temp/test dir$ musicxml2ly "test with spaces.xml"
Reading MusicXML from test with spaces.xml ...
Converting to LilyPond expressions...
Output to `test with spaces.ly'

musicxml2ly properly prints out newlines:
address@hidden:~/temp/test dir$ cat test\ with\ spaces.ly        
[...]

I suppose this is a problem with Windows using different newline characters... 
Unfortunately (well, not really;-) ) I only have access to machines running 
Linux, so I can't help you with any Windows-specific problems...
Maybe someone else has an idea what might be the problem with these two 
issues?

Cheers,
Reinhold
