My best guess is that your text editor saves the file in some strange
format.
Make sure that the text encoding of the file is UTF-8 (or plain 7-bit
ASCII).

I'm running LilyPond 2.10.10 under Windows XP Pro SP2. I'm using ConTEXT
v0.98.3, with the LilyPond Highlighter.
While running convert-ly, some of my files would not update; I got an error message that
convert-ly couldn't find the version number, even though \version "2.10.1" was
the first uncommented (i.e., beginning with %) line in the file.
I also am having problems with the file structure, so I decided to start
simply, and from scratch, but I'm having problems with that, too. I can't
figure out what's wrong with this file, but I suspect the problem may be
related to the missing version problem.
%%%%%%%%% Begin Snippet %%%%%%%%%%%
%% A Major Scale
\version "2.10.10"
\include "english.ly"
\header {}
\key = { \key a \major
}
\time 4/4
scale = {
A1
}
% ---- Score ----
\score {
\scale
}
%%%%%%%%%% End Snippet %%%%%%%%%
And here's the log:

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I like LilyPond and the result I can
(usually) get.
Thanks,
Ralph
