I wonder if it's because I have a number of empty measures, or measures 
with spacer rests in them? The reason I ask this, is because when 
Denemo Print View displays the score (with the big red 'Check Score...'), it 
displays completely empty lines (except for the measure numbers) in the 
score.

I'm getting the error message when I click Denemo Print View->Part
It is with the whole score, in the Denemo Print View window

Yes, I get the same error message in each part. When I have my cursor 
on any specific part (trumpet or timpani, in this case), it returns with an 
error.

I wanted to edit each part, as I thought it would create a part, then allow 
me to make edits within that part, as though it was its own file.

In this case, Typeset displays no red syntax. Neither does the cursor 
move to an error in the score. It seems that the score has no errors in it, 
but I still can't draw parts.
