It didn't now I get error logs telling me that example; C:/Documents and Settings/Frybyte/Desktop/Hamilton/Tunnel/Tunnel.ly:25:43: warning: Brace found at end of lyric. Did you forget a space? fluteLyrics = \lyricmode {bum bum bum bum bump} C:/Documents and Settings/Frybyte/Desktop/Hamilton/Tunnel/Tunnel.ly:28:10: error: syntax error, unexpected '=' reedMusic = C:/Documents and Settings/Frybyte/Desktop/Hamilton/Tunnel/Tunnel.ly:30:5: error: Grob name should be alphanumeric \set Staff.instrumentName = "Singer II" C:/Documents and Settings/Frybyte/Desktop/Hamilton/Tunnel/Tunnel.ly:31:5: error: Grob name should be alphanumeric \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "II." C:/Documents and Settings/Frybyte/Desktop/Hamilton/Tunnel/Tunnel.ly:32:5: error: Grob name should be alphanumeric \set Staff.midiInstrument = "clarinet"
