In the file you attached when compiling the LilyPond View highlights
the first error as the text


\glissandoSkipOn = {
  \override NoteColumn.glissando-skip = ##t
  \hide NoteHead
  \override NoteHead.no-ledgers = ##t
}

which is, indeed, wrong - there should be no backslash for a
definition:

glissandoSkipOn = {
  \override NoteColumn.glissando-skip = ##t
  \hide NoteHead
  \override NoteHead.no-ledgers = ##t
}

The question then is, where did it come from - the directive is tagged
Allow
\glissandoSkipOn

which I'm guessing comes from custom code created with   

Command: LilyPond Definition
Create a definition at the head of the LilyPond output. This can then
be referenced in the music. See LilyPond documentation.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Score
Internal Name: LilyPondDefinition


to define that variable. The mistake would then be that you tried to
define the variable starting with a backslash, which is an illegal
character in a variable name.

If you have an example where "Install Grace Note Hint" fails to fix the
problem please post it to the list.
