Why are you skipping bars? Is there any un-skipbars?

That should be "\StaffAText". not "\ StaffAText".

I'm still not certain if the error is actually with the \translator
section. Try commenting out a lot of your code, and try to get it to
work with a really simple example. Once it's working with a simple
example, then gradually uncomment lines to determine where exactly the
error is.

Do you want to use USletter, A4 paper, or some wierd papersize of your
own? I recommend that you use the preset paper sizes if possible.
for example,
\paper {papersize=letter}
Lilypond uses A4 by default. A4 is a little bit longer than USletter
paper; if you try to print A4 onto USletter paper, you'll lose
copyright/tagline.
If you use paper names like "letter" or "A4", gv will tell you what papersize
it is (one of the boxes along the top).
