Your problem is with the many ledger lines that begin in the
treble voice in bar 23. If you replace the first a1+ in that staff by
a14, say, the error goes away. To understand this, it is useful to know
what the 2 passes of pmx do:
(1) pass 1 (formerly called "pmxa.exe") reads in the pmx source, does
the syntax checking, and produces an intermediate file in which
some of the pmx shorthand notation has been expanded,
(2) pass 2 (formerly called "pmxb.exe"; the two passes were then
appended to make 1 file, "pmxab.exe") then reads this as its
input, and produces the .tex output file.
The exceedingly many ledger lines produce an output line in pass 1 that
is too long for the input "READ" command of pass 2, whence the error.
Admittedly the error message isn't of much use here ...

(i) Are you sure that is what you really want in your score ? Do
you expext any organ player to be able to play these notes on
sight-reading ?? If your answer to question one is YES, you
should definitely consider the octaviation notation. How to do
that is described in my PMX tutorial in the WIMA:
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmxccn.pdf
(ii) You commented out the line "\\input def\"
in your pmx input file which seems to read in the definitions
of the "\reg" and "\Reg", so these produced an extra error
with me. It may be more convenient to use the brand-new
facility for inputing that is now available in PMX version
2.416. You should definitely take a look at that!
