Beeing able to understand lilypond warning/error messages and
associate them to what is actually wrong helps a lot.

I didn't know you could use bar checks in the lyrics, might be useful.
I think I would have replaced thoose initial r1's in the singers
voice part with R1*5 (whole measure rests).

As usual for code, everyone has their own small layout preferences.
I'd say that for a new user her file is pretty impressive, is it
that lilypond is easy to learn or is she smart; and by time she will
find out what works best for her.

Is there any notes about "best practicies" in the documentation, or
is it best to read others files to find solutions to problems. I
think I tend to read my old files to see how I did there for a similar
problem.
