2. Where do I set the language option to get error messages in English?
I'm running Mac Sierra 10.3.3

3. Thanks to all who pointed out the invalid "\" before "melody".
So I applied the same to chords and lyrics and got new errors:
===========================
\version "2.19.40"
harmony = { c2 g:sus4 f e }
melody =   \relative c'' {
    a4 e c8 e r4
    b2 c4( d)
  }
words = { One day this shall be free __ }

\score {
<<
  \chords \harmony
  \melody
  \addlyrics \words

\layout { }
}

You are mixing several modes of entry without declaring them properly. I *strongly* suggest you work through the Learning Manual online, which will solve your basic problems. Forgive my bluntness, but you seem to be poking a hornets' nest with a stick, and a bit of time with TFM will avoid a good bit of pain! BTW, welcome to LilyPond and don't be shy about asking further questions, especially after a trip through the manuals.

Cheers,
Colin
