Running the file David attached fails with this message:
GNU LilyPond 2.16.2
Processing `xxx.ly'
Parsing...
xxx.ly:2:18: warning: non-UTF-8 input
title = "Lettre
? ?lise"
xxx.ly:2:20: warning: non-UTF-8 input
title = "Lettre ?
?lise"
This very clearly shows what the problem is. Re-saving the file with
proper UTF-8 encoding works fine and produces a correct PDF.
Always look at the text in the log whenever Lilypond fails. It is
usually helpful.
