Someone told me it was because I have wrong durations so I tried deleting some of the code so I could start over, but now it won't even acknowledge that I've made changes when I compile. even though it says it successfully compiled and doesn't list any errors. It simply shows me the same thing over and over again. I tried reopening lilypond to no avail.
Here is the code I am using. Attached is a screen shot of what is showing up when I compile it.
