There are several errors, all of them in line 46 which should look like 
this:
  \tuplet 5/4 {e16 gis b \ottava 1 e gis } b8.
instead of
  \tuplet 5/1 {e16 gis b \ottava {#0 gis} b8

1. It’s 5 sixteenth notes in the place of 1 quarter or 4 sixteenth, so 
the tuplet scaling factor is 5/4, not 5/1.
2. There is a { between \ottava and #0 that doesn’t belong there.
3. The b8 at the end of line misses a dot (b8.).
4. The second e is missing.
5. \ottava 0 (or \ottava #0) does nothing here, for one octave up you 
need \ottava 1 (or \ottava #1). At the end of the ottavation (probably 
at the end of line 48 of your code) you then need \ottava 0 (or \ottava 
#0). The # isn’t necessary in LilyPond 2.18.2 anymore ;)
