1) Stemlets: why do you want to write them like this? Normal quavers are
fine
2) use \mark "A", not \markup "A"

You've made the lower staff smaller with \magnifyStaff #5/7, so its
barline will be a different size too. I've had this with instrumentname
recently (answered on here, it's by design)

I think that's because there's a double bar in the Volta section following,
but I'll concede that's unexpected.

I'd split it into separate files, and pull them together in a master .ly
file using the
/include "music.ily"
command.
I also think barlines on separate lines helps.
So rather than
a4 b c d |
e f g a |
instead
a4 b c d
|
e f g a
|
You can also label bar numbers with comments:
a4 b c d
| %1
e f g a
| %2
but this gets tiresome after a while.

Well, you need to get fast at your keyboard skills and touch-typing! I
think Lilypond is much faster than manual entry in Sibelius -- using a MIDI
keyboard may be faster but it's also more prone to errors if you're trying
quantized direct music entry.
