First, I'd try spacing out the source more.  I also like to have very
compact source (many bars on one line), but if there's a problem I space
it out.  For example, I'd change this:
<\repeat unfold 4  { a'2.-\trill } \\ d,4--_#'(italic "divisi.")
~ d8 r r4 \repeat unfold 3 { d4-- ~ d8 r r4 } >
to this:
<
\repeat unfold 4 { a'2.\trill} \\
d,4-- ~ d8 r r4
\repeat unfold 3 {d4-- ~ d8 r r4}
>

Then I'd try a few things, such as adding {}s.  I'd stick everything in
front of the \\ in a {}, and everything behind it in another {}.

This is the kind of error message that you get when you try <a4. a4> -- it
looks like your voicifications ( the < blah \\ foo > stuff) aren't working
properly.  It'll be a lot easier to see what's happening if you extend each
bar over several lines.  Once you've "debugged" this part, then you can
stick the back together in your compact format.

Cheers.
