You don't break *our* rules by posting LilyPond sources here, that's
what we usually require. You should just think of any possible
copyright of the material itself before posting.
Generally one should provide a MWE (minimal working example exposing
the problem), but I assume in your case that's the issue - if you could
strip the issue down to an MWE you'd probably have solved it by
yourself.
PDF or PNG should only be added if they are *needed* to show an issue,
and if they are rather small.
