Some small tips :
1- have a look at the documentation, section 5.1.13 Tuplets, and keep in 
mind that if you'd like,
   where there is place for 2 notes, put 3 of them. you'll have to use 
\times 2/3 {a b c}.
   For 5 in place of 4, it is then \times 4/5 {a b c d e} ...
   So, bar 10 should have
      \times 4/5 { fis16 g ( fis eis fis ) }
   instead of
      \times 1/5 { fis16 g ( fis eis fis ) }

2- I personaly dont use barchecks (the pipe sign on french keyboards is 
<AltGr> + <6> )
   neither point-n-click. But for a more readable input, I place each 
bar on a new line and,
   depending on the stuff, introduce barnumbers as comment (easier 
locating after printing
   since I search for a sring "%% 125" if I notice a mistyping in this 
area) every 10 bars
   or upon request (tutti after a solo).

   In bar 10, there are 11 quater notes for \time 10/4 (let's say one 
too much)
   dis'8. g'16 ( fis'2 ) r8 dis'16 ( g' fis'4 ) fis ~ \times 4/5 { 
fis16 g ( fis eis fis ) } dis'8. ( a16 ) cis'2 ( b4 )


Hope this will help dealing with Lily...
