Thanks for the replies guys. This is curious - the offending measure is 
written
r4 r8 g''2.
which works out to 4 beats exactly. If I remove the . the music runs 
through lily fine but the printed measure is obviously 1/8 too short - 
it is a
1/4 rest 1/8 rest half note
I can change it to this
r4 r4 g''2
and the results are correct, but I want the g'' on the upbeat of 2, not 
the downbeat of 3, no matter what I do to do this it fails
I am obviously missing something.
