Re: Different colours in a single word

One of the commonest causes of errors in LilyPond files is unmatched 
quotes, braces, brackets, angle brackets etc.  They cause weird 
errors which can be difficult to find.  As Mark has pointed out, 
this seems to be the cause of your problem(s).  It really is 
important to lay out your code carefully from the outset, with 
correct indentation, as Mark has done, to help you spot these 
mis-matches - we all make them all the time, well, I do!

Hi Trevor,

thank you for your reply.

Now the problem looks worse, as I get really strange errors like 
this:

$ lilypond score.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.12.2
Processing `score.ly'
Analisi...
score.ly:25:11: error: syntax error, unexpected UNSIGNED
%\include "
          04_fig.ly"
error: failed files: "score.ly"

The first lines of my file are like this:


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.12.2"
#(set-global-staff-size 16)




\include "01_fl1.ly"
\include "01_fl2.ly"
\include "01_bc.ly"
%\include "01_fig.ly"

\include "02_fl1.ly"
\include "02_fl2.ly"
\include "02_bc.ly"
%\include "02_fig.ly"

\include "03_fl1.ly"
\include "03_fl2.ly"
\include "03_bc.ly"
%\include "03_fig.ly"

\include "04_fl1.ly"
\include "04_fl2.ly"
\include "04_bc.ly"
%\include "04_fig.ly"

\book {



 \header {

   title = \markup \center-align { \smallCaps "La Fuitte du Roi
d'Angleterre" \fontsize #-3 "à 3. deux Violons où Flutes, & Basse ou
Continue. par N. DEROSIER" }
   subtitle = \markup { \italic \fontsize #-2  "et se vendenz chez.
l'Autheur, sur le Cingel devant le Doele inde Roose-Boom" }
   subsubtitle = \markup { \smallCaps "A Amsterdam, 1689."}
   %composer = \markup \center-column { "Nicolas Derosier "  }
   copyright =  "© A******** M******* 2009"
%    tagline = \markup {\roman "A***** M*****" \concat {\with-color
#(x11-color "red")  "M" \with-color #(x11-color "black") "vsicvs 
P******
C*****"}

   }
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


Version is 2.12.2


If I delete the %\include "04_fig.ly" line, Lilypond starts giving 
errors
from the next " character.



Thank you,
Andrea
