one bar check failing

[wjm]

Hi,
If you move the opening curly brace to below the \relative line
and remove the \new Staff line altogether the result should compile with 
no bar-check errors and no, possibly unwanted, empty staff lines.
The altered result is below.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Bill

\relative c'
{
\key d\minor
\time 3/2

%\new Staff

\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"piano"

<f, a d>2 <a d f> <d f a> |
<f bes d>4 <g e'>8 <a f'> <bes g'> <a f'> <g e'> <f d'> <e cis'>2 |
