Hey thanks for your explanation. it is helping a bit. how ever I think it is 
still complaining about this measure

d4 e! g4. f8 e

If I recall though it is

d, e natural, g, f, e flat. so Do I need to mark it as an e flat at the end of 
that measure
Yes, you have to write "ees" as your last note.
But first of all you definitely should get your rhythms right, it's always 4 4 8. 16 4 and not 4 4 4. 8 4
, the error I get is unexpected '!' and I think it is that measure it's having 
a connection about. I'm not looking forward t the violin 2 part as that one 
will be tricky, but I'll get to that as soon as I make this error free. lol!

thanks for dealing with such a slow learner lol! the manual is helpful but 
sometimes it can be less then  explanatory even to a musician who has been 
playing for over 20 years lol!

Take care all and be blessed. I'm taking  a brake from this for now. I need it!

Ok. I know how to notate the sharps and flats but I might have missed
in the big manual how to notate naturals and there are a lot of them
in this piece.
I think I understand your problem.  You think that aes writes a flat,
and bis writes a sharp.  This is _not_ how LilyPond works.  Instead you
write the pitch you want to hear.  LilyPond will decide by its own rules
when it needs a sharp, a flat, or a natural.

What you write as a is _always_ played on a white key, what you write as
fis is _always_ played on a black key.
