the error occurs (try expediting first) at the beginning of the verses
in the tenor:
160:31 <0>: warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns
<< \new Voice = "tenVrs" {
\tenVerseNotes } \new Voice = "basVrs" { \basVerseNotes } >>
I can't get this thing to fix. I've tried force breaking the lines,
and I keep getting this seemingly "random" 'c' in the tenor with the
error. When I go to check the error, it leads to that note, and it is
not in the tenor part /anywhere/.
I think this might be a bug?!? I'm not an expert, so if someone has an
alternate suggestion for fixing this problem, let me know.
Sincerely,

Hello Josh,
And welcome to LilyPond!
Your problem comes from the section where you enter tenVerseNotes: you
left off the \relative before the c'. Add that in and Bob's your uncle.
Next, we definitely respond better to Tiny Examples (
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/web/tiny-examples ), both
for possible bugs and even for requests for information.
Finally, I definitely recommend you have a look at the reference
material on the website; the Learning Manual is a great way to gwet the
feel of LilyPond, and the Notation Manual has wonderful sections on
polyphonic music, including managing several simultaneous voices. The
"ignoring too many clashing note columns" warning comes when you have
simultaneous notes in two or more voices, but LilyPond has no way to
resolve the problem. Leaving out the \relative in tenVerseNotes gave you
a C outside the rest of the definition, which confused LilyPond.
Hope that helps, Josh!
Colin
