Re: Already have music in score

[Mats Bengtsson]

I assume that you explicitly write out \score{...} in your file.
Then, you should note that the syntax is (schematically)

\score{
  <music>
  <optional layout>
  <optional midi>
  <optional header>
}

where <music> should be a musical expression, i.e.

- a single note
  or
- a sequence of notes/musical expressions : { c d e f }
  or
- a set of simultaneous notes/musical expression: << {c d e f} c1 >>
  or ...

In other words, if you do

\score{
  c d e f
}
you get the described error message since you have more then one
musical expression at the top level of the \score{...} block.
The correct version is
\score{
  {c d e f}
}

or maybe
\score{
  \relative c' {c d e f}
}

or maybe
mymusic = \relative c' {c d e f}
\score{\mymusic}

or ...
