I am getting better at putting the code in (is that what you call
entering the notation?), and I am getting good results most of the
time, however, I have come unstuck today. I have checked and
rechecked what I have put into my notepad file, but the music that is
generated doesn't match it. I am going to attach it, and highlight
the bars that are causing problems if someone could have a look at it
and tell me what I can do to fix it, I'd be most grateful,

At the point of the bold print, I am getting a g mimum, then a g
semibreve, which instead of taking up two beats of the bar is given a
whole bar - it is printed as a semibreve, but not treated as one if
that makes sense. That particular pattern is repeated a few times in
the music, and I was having problems with it, and although it seemed
right didn't work, so I ditched that, and entered it all again, the
other places where the pattern appears are now correct, but this last
one isn't, its driving me up the wall.
I believe it was suggested that you use the vertical bar '|' to check
your bar boundaries. That might have helped here.
The a'3 (probably a typo) before the g'1 should give an error message
since all duration values must be powers of two. It throws LIlypond off
and Lily just does what it can to recover.
HTH,
