More importantly, before that it gives the error ‘unknown escaped
string: `\fontsize'’.
That’s because \fontsize is a markup command and you are using it in a
music expression.
Please refer to for help on your use case.
Just to expand a bit on Simon's reply: anything inside brackets is taken
as a music expression by LilyPond, while \fontsize needs to be placed in
a non-musical container, such as a \markup. I see you are working
through the Learning Manual, and you will find more help a bit further
down in 3.4.4 and 4.7.2 of that manual. Simon has also recommended that
you try posting to the user list first, for your next questions, keeping
the bug list for those issues which cannot be answered elsewhere.
Cheers

peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of
the way and let them have it.
