My general suggestion is to read sections "4.1 Suggestions for writing
LilyPond files"
(including subsections) and "4.5 Troubleshooting (taking it all apart)"
in the manual.
There's definitely no need to start from scratch.
From your description, my guess is that you have made a typo that
causes some
rhythmical error. In that case, it should be easy to track it down by
adding
bar checks in your .ly file. Normally such errors shouldn't cause
LilyPond to
crash, but it may happen if you are unlucky.
Note also that lots and lots of bugs have been fixed in the latest
stable version, 2.10.20
compared to the one you use, so i may be a good idea to upgrade your
installation.
If you are lucky, this gets rid of the crash, so you can look at the PDF
file and see
what's wrong.

Running Lilypond 2.10.0 and jEdit 4.3pre8 and Java 1.5.0_10, and
"things" have been OK.
Background...I had a file which I removed ~84 bars from. Decided to
restore those bars by typing them in.
Began processing and this is the result...no .pdf file is part of the
result (but WHY?), and if I try playing the .midi file, what I'm
hearing
is some kind of "shifting" of the treble and bass parts...hearing
harmonies that are NOT part of the score.
Here's the output from Console:
This is a console shell for running LilyPond and related commands.
Enter %help to see the available special commands.
LilyPond ready.

Worst case scenario...do I need to start from scratch and
