I am not going to spend the 10 minutes it takes to secondguess how to
fudge a compilable example from those sketches.  It's possible others
will.  However you definitely increase your chances of getting good
quality answers by doing everything except the part you are having
problems with yourself rather than force every single person wanting to
answer you to first doing the same gruntwork for your sake and probably
running out of steam before even getting to your actual problem.

That process of creating everything key-ready for supplying the answer
is supposed to be described in <https://lilypond.org/tiny-examples>.  It
probably is not clear enough.
