Hi,
Your .ly file contains the line
\key = { \key a \major }
I don't think there are any legal LilyPond expressions of the form
\foo = anythingatall
Did you mean to write something like
mykey = { \key a \major }
?
However, I don't understand the error message the system gave you.

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.
