My plaintext mail client is set for ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1), so spurious
apostrophes (') show up as the sequence  ^ ò   (but without the spaces I
inserted for clarity).  The tail end of the above error message looks like
this:
            ^ ò s e l f - a l i g n m e n t - X
which may indicate that the LilyPond parser does not see an apostrophe
(a "single-quote"), but rather a long unbound (i.e., undefined) variable
name beginning with the two characters  ^ ò

You might want to look at your actual source file in an ASCII-only text
editor to see whether the apostrophe (') is a real ASCII apostrophe or if
it's some unicode character.
