I didn't look closely at the output you sent (heaven helps...), but
TeX has indeed some fixed limits that are relatively easy to hit if
you stress it badly.

I assume you use TeTeX.  In this case, you can configure various
limits in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf, or using the program "texconfig" on
the command line.  There are quite a lot of variables to tweak, and to
figure out which one you need to bump up you'd first need to find out
more about the nature of your problem.

I have a lilypond book with 136 songs (soon to be released), and it
works nicely for me.  But the songs are rather simple.

Thanks,
