I, too, have copied code from documentation that caused incomprehensible errors messages eventually tracked to the wrong single quote character.  Very annoying.  I've thought it unique to my technique.  Can the documentation be fixed?  Or, better, can Lily be fixed to accept all single quote characters interchangeably?

Hi Jim,

I just tried the "Notes only" template and got an error that I commonly get when I copy and paste from the Lilypond manual - it doesn't like the " ’ " character that is in the manual. I have to manually delete them and reinsert " ' ". Then it typesets fine. Below is the "Notes only" template with the modification, which works fine on my installation of Lilypond 2.7.3 on OS 10.4.

\version "2.6.0"

melody = \relative c'
{
    \clef treble
    \key c \major
    \time 4/4

    a4 b c d
}

\score
{
    \new Staff \melody
    \layout
    {
       
    }
    \midi { \tempo 4=60 }
}

- John

When I copy and paste from the first template example and then copy and paste my chosen notes I get

error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
\new Staff
          \melody

When I delete those parts I get

A lovely pdf file no error messages and no midi even though I now have at the end
\score {
\layout { }
\midi { \tempo 4=60 }
}


So the example template in this instance does not seem to work at I expect.  Which is why I asked- what's the minimum?
