I thin you were testing different LilyPond files in Frescobaldi than in
Denemo, if you open the .ly file you attached in Frescobaldi it reports
the errors.

In the LilyPond window in Denemo your Angelus.denemo file reports this

Typesetting ...Done/tmp/Denemo_5UUV6Y/denemoprintB.ly:21:4: error:

Bar
   ! = \bar "|!-!"

The first problem is that Bar! is not a valid variable name in LilyPond
syntax. Is this a name that you devised yourself? If you change it to
all alphabetic characters e.g. BarNagy it should work fine.

The second error about a system with empty extent I haven't looked
into ...
