You should add the exact phrase:

\version "2.14.1"

at the top of your file called bob's happy day.ly.

However, whether you do this or not, you should still get the output since this 
isn't a "fatal" error.  I'm a PC user and would expect to see the output 
document (bob's happy day.pdf) on my desktop, since that appears to be where 
you've saved the source file.

  Subject: error compiling files


  Hello,


  I am brand new to Lilypond and have just spent 90 minutes trying to figure 
out how to get a simple piece of input (anything) to convert over and be 
displayed as a .pdf file.  I've tried copying bits from the welcome text 
document into a new file and then clicking on "Compile" then "Typeset file" and 
I've tried typing in the various simple examples that are shown in the 
tutorials, but what keeps happening (no matter what I've typed into the text 
document) is this:






  Processing `/Users/travisgould/Desktop/bob's happy day.ly'
  Parsing...
  /Users/travisgould/Desktop/bob's happy day.ly:0: warning: no \version 
statement found, please add


  \version "2.14.1"


  for future compatibility
  success: Compilation successfully completed






  I've tried adding the \version "2.14.1" command to the text document in 
various ways and places, but the same message keeps coming up when I try to 
compile the document.  I'm using a MacBook with OS X version 10.5.8.  Any help 
or direction would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your time and for 
creating lilypond and making it available for free!
