You have typographical quotes in your input file:

%%% Start
melody = \relative c' {
\numericTimeSignature
\time 4/4
\clef treble
\key f \minor

\override Staff.KeySignature.break-visibility = #all-invisible
\override Staff.Clef.break-visibility = #all-invisible

% 1
\bar ".|" % This had a typographical quote on the end

c'1   % This had a typographical single quote

\bar "|."
}
%%% End
