Hi Christian, I think you just forgot one closing curly brace ("}"). This works for me:
\version "2.12.2" << \new ChordNames { \chordmode { g1 g2:sus4 g } } \new Voice \with { \consists "Pitch_squash_engraver" } { \relative c'' { \improvisationOn g4 g8. g16 g8 g~g16 g g g g8. g16 g8 g r g g g } } >> You should indent your code and your braces. It's easier to read and to find errors.
