Hi there,

I'm a brand new user of Lilypond, just downloaded this morning! I'm using
it to create more beautiful scores for my guitar and bass students.

In the notation reference under section 2.4.1 Custom
tablatures<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings#custom-tablatures>
there
is an alternative clef used called "moderntab", which is a really nice
clean sans-serif clef. I tried inserting the declaration just as it was in
the code snippet, and it doesn't render in the pdf output! So I checked the
log, and this is what I'm getting:

*# -*-compilation-*-*

This is how I declared the staves (the variable "symbols" holds the musical
notes):

*\new StaffGroup <<*
*    \new Staff \symbols {*
*    \clef "bass_8"*
*    }*
*    \new TabStaff \symbols {*
*    \clef moderntab*
*    \set TabStaff.stringTunings = #bass-tuning*
*    }*
*>>*

Can anybody help me solve this novice's problem? Many thanks,


-Ben
