Bad error message

[Francisco Vila]

Hello. The following score

%begin


 acordes = \chordmode { f/a4 }



 letra = \lyricmode { Deck }



 musica = \relative c' { \key f \major



                          c4.}



  \header { title = "Deck the Hall" }





     { <<  \new ChordNames \acordes



                           { \musica }



                            \addlyrics



                           { \letra }   >> }

%end

Results in:

/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/chord-entry.scm:39:11:
In procedure construct-chord in expression (scm-error (quote
chord-format) "construct-chord" ...):
/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/chord-entry.scm:39:11:
Spurious garbage following chord: #<Pitch f' >

This is a very poor error message, IMO. You don't know where is the
problem in your score.
