I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong. I just
started to use lilypond and I was trying make triplets. Here is the
source I was using:
the program's output speaks for itself: there's an unknown "\" and an
extra "}". notice that the lilypond output states the line and the column
at which there are syntax errors in your input file.
note that "\ times" is *not* the same that "\times" and that at the end of
your \score block there's an unmatched bracket "}". the correct code is:
\version "2.6.0"
upper = \relative c'' {
\clef treble
\key g \major
\time 4/4
g g2. a4 b4 a4
}
lower = \relative c {
\clef bass
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\times 2/3 { e, b' e } % an error was here
}
\score {
\context PianoStaff <<
\set PianoStaff.instrument = "Piano "
\context Staff = upper \upper
\context Staff = lower \lower
>>
\layout { }
\midi { \tempo 4=60 }
} % another error was here
You have to be careful with lilypond syntax, and know it well. I'd sugest
you to use a text editor with programming helper features (such as bracket
matching) to help you detecting errors like these. For Windows, JEdit with
it's excelent plugin Lily4Jedit is highly recommended for entering
lilypond scores (See the manual).
