I'd rather say: Have you let LilyPond check that all your measures have 
the correct length? At 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/General-suggestions#index-Bar-and-bar-number-checks 
you can find a link to instructions on how to add bar checks, so that 
LilyPond itself can find out where the problem is.
