The mistake is in bar 1 actually.
You have nine 8th in this measure instead of eight.
I suppose it should be like in bar 5, so gis8 instead of gis4 :
b8. gis8. gis8( gis2)
Then everything should be fine.
It is recommended to input your "ly" text file with one measure per
line, and you can use more barchecks '|' .
Cheers,
Xavier
