Hi Daniel
If you look in Bach-Invention-01.ly you will see it
says \version "2.7.40" just after the header block.
This shows which version of LilyPond it was written
for. You will have downloaded a more recent version
of LilyPond, and the format of the input file has
changed slightly between the two versions. This
difference in versions causes the error.
The LilyPond installation provides a program which
use can use to convert the source code to your
version. Start up a Command Prompt window and
type convert-ly.py -e [path]/Bach-Invention-01.ly
and it will update it (as far as it can). This is
the general solution.
However, in this case the problem is easily fixed.
Use a text editor like NotePad to remove \tempo 4 = 80
from
\midi { \tempo 4 = 80 } leaving \midi { }
and place it instead immediately after the first
\relative c' {
to give
\relative c' {
\tempo 4 = 80
Save and try again.
(If you use convert-ly an alternative way of specifying
the tempo will be used - both are valid although they have
slightly different effects.)
