Hi Molly

There were a couple of errors that prevented compilation:

Line 23: barcheck before slur opening bracket
Line 141: missing closing angle bracket

Having fixed those lots of barchecks remain, but you're best able to
correct them.

Molly, did you see the error messages? Which editor are you using?

ichtudirweh_new.ly:23:51: errore: syntax error, unexpected '('
  | ees4. ees8 ges4. ges8 f4. f8 aes8 aes8 ~ aes4 |

Most of the LilyPond editors (I recommend Frescobaldi) let you click on the line:column numbers to jump to the problematic line.

Remember that you can omit the duration of a note if it's the same duration of the previous.

r8 f8 f8 g8 r8 d8 d8 bes'8

can be written as:

r f f g r d d bes'

cleaner and faster to type
