Put a comment in front of the word "lilypond" in line 7 of your code and it will work, in other words: you copied and pasted stuff that does not belong there.

The proper reference would be e.g. the Notation reference, 2.4.1 or a URL like http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings.en.html

The above line should be removed or commented.
