This isn't a bug in LilyPond, it's a problem with your code.  The
music isn't omitted, it just flows over the page - that's because you
have wrong durations that don't align with barlines and thus prevent
line breaking.  Use barchecks to find the problematic spot.

The screenshot didn't get through, perhaps because of size (we
generally allow attachments up to 100kB).

I suggest that next time you have a problem you should first try to
create a minimal example as we describe here
http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html
Doing so would probably show you what's the problem without the need to ask.
