Thanks one and all for the assistance. I ought to have clarified that the file presents no problems as I have attached it the first two times. It only fails when I put almost anything else in the layout block. For example if I insert the script generously provided by Jim Long, I get error messages. Attached is the file once again with said script included. For me this yields the following error messages. It is probably something simple that I just can't pick out. c:/users/dasyli~1/appdata/local/temp/frescobaldi-h1hr6m/tmpo7idwj/ps_3_southwell_1311.ly:168:27: error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting SCM_FUNCTION or SCM_IDENTIFIER or SCM_TOKEN
