Minimal examples are highly useful: You should follow the instructions 
on <http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html> if you encounter such a problem.
There is _much_ redundancy in the example you posted: You use \relative 
three times for only one music expression. Many overrides are also 
applied multiple times, which does not help at all in debugging. Also 
there are many superfluous <<>> and {}: If you have only one expression, 
you needn’t wrap it in any kind of braces. For example ‘##{ \relative 
$mus #}’ or ‘\new Staff \foo’ on top level or ‘\globals \melody’.

But all of this has nothing to do with the problem, which now has 
already been resolved by Harm and Trevor.

Yours, Simon
