This consists of _two_ scores. The first score is ``` \relative \key d \major ``` and LilyPond decides that without any music in it, it is not worth typesetting. It does warn you about it: /tmp/baba.ly:2:1: warning: skipping zero-duration score \relative /tmp/baba.ly:2:1: warning: to suppress this, consider adding a spacer rest \relative Now the second score is what follows within braces. > and when I try to put a tie between the triplet and the next note and put a > tilde after the `b` in the triplet I get this error: > > Interpreting music... > the-mountain.ly:7:45: warning: unterminated tie > a'8 g'8 \tuplet 3/1 {f' c' b > ~} c'8 c'2 > > Any clues how to fix these? You should take a look at the learning manual to understand the difference between ties (which create longer-duration note values from several noteheads at the same pitch) and slurs (which indicate a smooth connection of notes of typically different pitch). -- David Kastrup
