Also, this may help you as well, understanding that multiple lines is fine
if you just remember the braces (variables included):
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/working-on-input-files

Expressions: every piece of LilyPond input needs to have { curly braces }
placed around the input. 

*Whitespace insensitive:* it *does not matter* how many spaces (or tabs or
new lines) you add. ‘{ c4 d e }’ means the same thing as ‘{ c4       d e }’
and:

    { c4                       d
                       e   }

Of course, the previous example is hard to read. A good rule of thumb is to
indent code blocks with two spaces:

    {
      c4 d e
    }
