Re: Parser error when including file

[Jan van Dijk]

Dear Arjan,

Your file includedError starts with the declaration of a variable: y
Hereafter lilypond expects an =
For example: y = "test"

I think the y is a typo.
When you remove this letter, your problem should be solved.

Kind regards,
Jan van Dijk.
