You found some bugs, I think.

Ok, here are two of them:
Sonatina.ly:23:110: warning: Junking request: `Text_script_req':
sol2(^" "^1^\textscript "Moderato (1/4=88)" "Large"_" "_\textscript
"dolce" "italic" \grace {\slurdown si8^3
(} \slurboth la8 sol la si |
The exact location that provoces the error is at the linebreak (should
we document that?). Which means that the request for the 3 is not being
accepted. It turns out, that there is no Text_engraver in the GraceContext
by default. This will be partly fixed in 37 -- partly, because there's
also a bug in the placement location for the 3.
Sonatina.ly:33:11: warning: unterminated slur:
<sol2 si(
_3_4> <fas2 do'_1_5> |
warning: unbound spanner `Slur'
warning: can't find both ends of slur
This is a cascade of errors, of course. You fail to end two slurs.
Sonatina.ly:38:11: warning: Junking request: `Bar_req':
\bar "|.";
Harmless. You ask for an ending bar twice, you (can) get only one
(of those requests honoured).

That's a bug. In generic-property.scm, the order of 'verticalDirection'
(aka \stemup) and 'slurVerticalDirection' is wrong, giving
'verticalDirection' the highest precedence. Will be fixed in 37.

This one is tricky. You define a Staff context, but never ask for
a Voice context:

When you do '<', two new voices are created. So, when you use (),
you are asking for cross-voice slurs, which Lily can't do. Add:
\context Voice \relative do' \sequential {
<sol2 si(_3_4> <fas2 do'_1_5> |
Greetings,
