error compiling files

[Travis Gould]

Hello,

I am brand new to Lilypond and have just spent 90 minutes trying to figure out how to get a simple piece of input (anything) to convert over and be displayed as a .pdf file.  I've tried copying bits from the welcome text document into a new file and then clicking on "Compile" then "Typeset file" and I've tried typing in the various simple examples that are shown in the tutorials, but what keeps happening (no matter what I've typed into the text document) is this:

Processing `/Users/travisgould/Desktop/bob's happy day.ly'

Parsing...

/Users/travisgould/Desktop/bob's happy day.ly:0: warning: no \version statement found, please add

\version "2.14.1"

for future compatibility

success: Compilation successfully completed

I've tried adding the \version "2.14.1" command to the text document in various ways and places, but the same message keeps coming up when I try to compile the document.  I'm using a MacBook with OS X version 10.5.8.  Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your time and for creating lilypond and making it available for free!
