I think it's time for you to start reading the section of the manual
called "Changing Defaults". Among others, you will learn that a
\context{...} declaration specifies/changes the definition of a
single context. So, you cannot change the definition of two
different contexts in the same \context{...}.

If you are not patient enough to find out the exact solution yourself,
it's at the bottom of this email, but I really encourage you to try to
solve it yourself first.

No, I've got syntax error too. That's my \paper block:

\paper { paperheight = 21.0 \cm
                  linewidth = 134\mm
                  pagenumber = no
                  indent = 0
                  \context {
                     \ScoreContext \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
                     \StaffContext \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver"}
       }


The only problem with your file is that you had copied a solution
written for an older version of LilyPond without updating the
syntax. Just replace \translator with \context in your \paper{...}
block to get a fully working example for version 2.2.6.


Ok, I replaced \translator with \context, byt stiil it doesn't work. Syntax error still apears.

When you upgrade to version 2.4 or whatever, use convert-ly to
upgrade the syntax. For that reason, I recommend to already now
insert a line
\version "2.2.6"
at the top of your .ly files.


I have processed my file through convert-ly, but it has no effect on syntax inside the file. At first I processed without any arguments

convert-ly file.ly

Only the line version has changed to \version 2.2.0

Then I have processed with arguments:

convert-ly -f=2.2.0 -t=2.2.6

I've got syntax error. I don't know why.

By the way, I don't know what you expect the setting
\set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(+2 . 5.1)
to do. Since the staff lines themselves extend down to -2,
there's no reason to set the lower edge (the first number)
of the minimumVerticalExtent larger than -2.


Yes, I know. I tried with different numbers to change the wertical distance between staffs. I noticed, that only changing the second number has an effect. Long ago I set the first number to +2, I don't remember why. Ok, I will set to -2.

For the impatient:
\paper{
  ...
  \context {
    \ScoreContext
    \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
  }
  \context {
    \StaffContext
     \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver"
  }
}

should work well.
