What is my error here?

[jay]

I don't know what is wrong here 

I'm using

\version "2.14.1"

the % works everywhere except here

%r8 \fermata ^\markup {\italic \tiny "an uh moment"} gis8 e'
d cis b ~ b [r a] b cis fis, gis a gis4 cis

 

the error message actually tells me

%r8 \fermata ^\markup {\italic \tiny

"an uh moment"} gis8 e'

 

And won't compile but it shouldn't even see that line! Should it?

Doesn't see any of the other lines marked like that.

Also if I remove the ^\markup {\italic \tiny "an uh moment"} 

then I get a different error later

c8^\markup {\italic

"slightly slower"} 

In fact I just deleted the section(s) that gave me an error message and it still wouldn't compile it gave me\

\bar

"|."

as the error.

 

This is all new as everything has been working as expected.

Hope someone has an idea

Jay
