Eyolf, Your snippet compiles without error message for me. I am using Lilypond under Windows. I notice that a space separates the two "e" from their "~." The space is not between the two "b" and theirs. Perhaps this is the source of the error message for you.

The "e"s after the tildes do not get written out. The two "b~" work as expected, though, even though everything but the pitches is the same as in the first line. If I remove the tildes, everything works - except that I don't get the ties. I'm running v. 2.18.2 under Arch Linux.
