"Wrong type argument in position 1" error and other questions

[Kevin Nowaczyk]

I've been checking out lilypond for a few days and
really like what it can do.  I've come upon a strange
error that I can not figure out.  Line 95 is commented
out.  By removing the comment I get the following when
running lilypond --pdf ./black_hole.ly

Preprocessing graphical objects...
Calculating line breaks...
[3][6][9][12][15][18][21][24][27][30]/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.0/scm/output-lib.scm:43:24:
In procedure cadr in expression (cadr note-collums):
/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.0/scm/output-lib.scm:43:24:
Wrong type argument in position 1: ()

What is it with this snippet of code that causes the
error.  I'm new to lilypond so I'm guessing the
problem is something basic--ish that's not
specifically spelled out in the tutorial.

There are a couple other warning that pop up when
rendering this file.  one says:
./black_hole.ly:4:2: warning: junking event:
`KeyChangeEvent'
but the key change does occur.  Should I put the "\key
g \major" statement in another place to cover all
staffs?

Finally I get a ton of:
Voiceprogramming error: can't find context continuing,
cross fingers
But the voice section looks very good.  Again, am I
doing something slightly wrong that it works, but with
loud complaints?

I'm running 2.6.0 on Cygwin Linux.

Thanks for a great piece of software.
