Please keep lilypond questions to the mailist; that way the answers are
available for people browsing the archives or googling.

It looks like you might have something else going wrong in your
.ly file.  Try making a simple test file for this; if it produces an
error, then include the test file in your email.  If it doesn't
produce an error, then figure out what the difference is between
your test file and your real .ly file.
