Don't we already have a no music in this file error message?

`aliteralmind': could you please post a minimal example of a .ly file
that requires a \score block, but doesn't print any error message when
there's none?
  

How about

\version 2.13.4
mymusic = \relative c' {c d e f }

Cheers,

Often, you don't have to explicitly write out any \score{...} block in 
your file, see

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Introduction-to-the-LilyPond-file-structure#Introduction-to-the-LilyPond-file-structure

However, your feature request is certainly relevant, so I forward it to 
the bug mailing list.

I'm using LilyPond for the first time in months. Feels god.

I was about to ask why-the-heck is my LY code being analyzed (I get an
appropriate message when I purposefully put in a syntax error), but when I
fix the error, no PDF is generated. It just stops. I realized, after
halfway-composing my help-me forum message, that I didn't put in the score
element.

The log was giving me this:

---
# -*-compilation-*-
Processing `E:/temp/mysong/mysong.ly'
Parsing...
---

Then in just stopped. Nothing. I thought I somehow messed up my computer in
the past months. I put in the score element and now it works.

What I WISH the log would say, when no PDF or MIDI is generated, is
something like this:

---
# -*-compilation-*-
Processing `E:/temp/mysong/mysong.ly'
Parsing...
[END. No PDF or MIDI generation requested] 
---


Anyway, I just wanted to make that comment. Thanks for considering.
