This means you have an ancient version of Lilypond installed on your
machine, and the \version in your source file specifies a later Lilypond
version as the minimum valid version.

Make sure you're running in an account with administrator privileges,

You need to download the latest LilyPond Version from the website (go
for version 2.13.34 if you can, and save it in downloads directory).

You should now de-install Lilypond 2.6.5 (there should be an Uninstall
option in your Start | All Programs | Lilypond Menu.

Once you've uninstalled V2.6.5, run the exe you have downloaded to
install Lilypond 2.13.34.

Run this command from the cmd window

lilypond
It should tell you it's running version 2.13.34.

Now try your test again.


Cheers,

Ian
