There's probably some kind of missing brace/bracket/parentheses or
some other typo in the code - the error message says that Lilypond
didn't expect instrumentName = "Piano" in this place.
Frescobaldi can highlight matching parentheses - you may use this to
check if they're all right.

Oh, and please post *all* replies and questions to the whole list -
you'll get answers more quickly.  For example, i just went to sleep
when you sent your message.
There's absolutely no guarantee that privately sent emails will be
answered - some people are very busy and only check their lilypond
mail once in a few days.

best,
Janek
