Thank you to David, Karlin & Peter.
I've sorted out the silly typo and understood that I need a second set
of brackets to serialise the expressions. Thanks also for pointing out
that I needed \context rather than \new. I'm using the script below
which, although not perfect, enables me to get on with music not
programming. The only slight niggle is whether I can persuade Lily to
use the full instrument names at the start of the main section rather
than the short names.
Once again, thanks for your help.
