Hi!

Can anybody see what is wrong with the file below the .signature?  I had 
this compile just fine many times with minor changes, etc.  But today 
(without making any changes) I tried compiling it, and it returned the 
following:

[1:82:address@hidden:/u/gord/songs/LilypondSets> lilypond KyrieChords..ly

I'm not really the geek type, so discerning small errors in code is not up 
my alley, but I thought I had it so this would work, and now it doesn't 
(version 2.2.2)

Blessings,

Gordon Gilbert
