Thanks Xavier, in a 2nd post I explained I made a mistake thinking (doh) I
was sending my question to the Denemo list.
So I have a .denemo file only, no .ly
I'm pretty new to this, so I know I can see the Lilypond compilation view,
but don't know yet how to extract it as a .ly file.
Trying to change things in the Lilypond view doesn't (seem to) work.

<Under GNU/Linux if you compile within a terminal, the errors appears in the
terminal too.
<If you use a dedicated text editor allowing you to compile within this
editor, then it should also have a buffer/terminal showing the errors
<when compiling.

That's good to know; it might be wise to first get to know .ly files in that
fashion before trying to do all in Denemo or Frescobaldi.
Usually a GUI is easier than compiling yourself, but in this case it's
different - I'll have to learn the inner working better first.
I'm not a hero yet though with vim (also just starting with that).

Here are 2 snippets from the Lilypond view - maybe it's very obvious where
the mistake is?

MvmntIVoiceI =  {
          fis'2. g'8 fis'\Barline
         f'1\Barline

         dis' fis' b4 ~ b \times 2/3 { b8 c' cis'\Barline

         } d'2. e'4\Barline
         c'2 b8 bes a4\Barline
         r \times 2/3 { g8 b d' } e' g' g'4\Barline

         c'2 b8 bes a4\Barline

         r \times 2/3 { g8 b d' e' g' g'4\Barline
         g'2 a'4 g'  \bar "||"         b'2 ~ b'8 a' g' e'\Barline
         \times 2/3 { d'4 d' d' d' c'\Barline
         r8 g' g' g' g' gis' a'4\Barline

         d' \times 2/3 { fis'4 a' g'  \bar "||"%25
         fis'2. g'8 fis'\Barline
