Barcheck and TrillSpan

[Palmer, Ralph]

Greetings -

I'm getting there, and I'd like to thank all of you for the wonderful
program and all the help!

I'm running LilyPond 2.11.23 under Windows XP SP2.

I'm including a snippet and the log from running the snippet. I'm using
a silent note (space holder?) to allow a different clef cue at the
beginning of the piece, and it is causing a barcheck failure. The
failure doesn't seem to produce any other problems, so should I just
ignore it? Or is there a better structure to use to get my intended
result? Also, I'm trying to get "tr" plus the wavy line for the length
of the dotted quarter note. I can't seem to get it to work. Perhaps I'm
wrong in believing that the trill should be for just the length of the
dotted quarter; is it standard practice to have the trill indication
last through the "turn" at the end of the trill? Even if that is the
case, why doesn't my setup work?

Here's the snippet, followed by the log:
