I can't say for sure whether the above mentioned extra note is the cause of
your problem, maybe it is. But if you have more than one measure per input
block I would HIGHLY recommend using barlines ! It is terribly difficult
keeping the survey over the music without them, and you risk - as in this case
- to enter erroneous notes.
If you quote larger portions of code directly in your email you can't be sure
of how the line breaks come out at the receivers. You should compact you code
(e.g. using zip) and attach it instead. Then it's much easier for the receivers
to handle it.
