To add something more general to that: The "error: unrecognized string" indicates that LilyPond is given something to parse (here: "h") which it doesn't understand ("recognize") at this place. It can be a note name in the wrong language but it could also be a misspelled command (e.g. \brake instead of \break) or a variable you have declared in another file which you forgot to include. So essentially this error tells you "There is *something* wrong with your input but I can't tell you what exactly". And LilyPond can't tell you "this is not a note name" here because there are plenty of other valid things that could go there, articulations, dynamics, ties, arbitrary commands or Scheme expressions ...
