Hi Sarah,
You sure have come a long way, but I think it is already a nice result.
What I see:
- line 17: the opening bracket is still before the \relative instead
of after. That causes a problem that the musical expression seen by
the \relative is only the next statement, that is the \key g \major.
After that LilyPond will interpret the notes for the flute as
absolute. But be carefull in changing it, because there are some
octave jumps and by adding these up LilyPond can let the notes
"runaway".
- line 68: the jump from g'' to b''' is impossible, it arrives here
because it starts at \relative c'', goes to the d, to the g (all
without quotes) and then the b' is interpreyed as b''. This is a
typical example of LilyPond "running away" in the height because all
the quotes add up. My guess is that the quote after the b is wrong and
you want this b in the same range. Remove and check if this is what
you want. This happens also at some other places, for example on line
70 where it goes to the next octave because the higher d is closer
then the lower one. This is how \relative works: the last note
specified was an a, the next is a d without quote or comma so it
fetches the d closest by. But my guess is you don't want that high d
but one octave lower. You'll get that one by specifying d, (the note
followed by a comma).
- line 26: the notes do not match up to 12/8, LilyPond complains on
the barcheck. Reading the discussion on the \grace note, I'm wondering
if you want a grace note here or that note is just part of the regular
music the \grace command acts on the next expression, in this case the
gis and it does NOT count it for the whole measure, so now you have
11/8. Either the \grace should be out or another /8 should be in
somewhere. I cannot decide for you.
- line 187: next barcheck problem: same problem with 1/8 missing (or a
stray \grace)
- several places: you specify different size of the repeats, for
example in the flute part you a \repeat on line 20 spanning a
significant piece of the music (it ends in line 43), but in the
clarinet part you start a repeat on line 65 ending in the midlle of
line 67. This piece is much smaller. LilyPond will insert several
repeat marks and propagate these when possible to the other parts as
well. It makes the result a little bit messy. Because it is a small
piece and I think you only want the repeats to avoid typing too much
notes, you can think of taking out the ones you don't need. Like line
67 already show the d4. and r4. twice, the repeat is too much.
- line 125: the bassoon normally uses a bass-clef, insert it here
after the global!
- line 61: here you \transpose the clarinet music, but you do it
wrong! It should be \transpose bes c' because that is how the clarinet
is written. But in line 429 you do it again which cancels out the
first action. Plus you also mention \transposition in line 427. My
advise: remove the \transpose in line 61, also remove the
\transposition in line 427 and leave 429. Because your piece is
written in concert pitch g major, it should now for the clarinet part
show a major.
- line 176: same problem for the horn: remove it and also the
\transpose in line 441.
Good luck and have a good performance!
Regards,
Wim.

Hello to the list.
I notice that some of my grace notes are also causing the bar check
errors but most of them I think are happening at the end dog
repeats where there's an incomplete measure as it was filling time
so you can go back and repeat the anicrusis.
Over all thats all I'm noting, that and the wrong octaves that I'm
still not sure how to fix. sometimes I hate perfect pitch, like today.
Attached is the .ly file.
