I know what you're talking about, I have it all the time! :D
It means you made somewhere in your lily file a typo. I don't know about 
you, but in my case it's nine out of ten times that I forgot to place a ' } 
' or something like that. You should check the log file (*.log) that being 
created when you make a pdf file. You can open it in your favorite text 
editor. It probebly looks very frightning with all the 'ERROR' and 
'WARNING' lines, but try to look beyond that and search for lines with 
words like 'syntax error'.

Did you retype the test.ly file or copy&paste it from the net?

If you can't find the problem, you can always send the test.ly file to the 
group. Copy and paste it (the test.ly) in your mail though, cause as far as 
I know attachments aren't accepted anymore, because of virusses &c.

Thorkil
