 Hi Martin,

I think you forgot the ) after the e4 in the 3rd bar of \alternative.
Anyway, this works for me, but I'm not sure it is what you want.
BTW, I use TeXShop as the editor and it seems more forgiving than some other 
editors.

Best regards,

%What's wrong here ?

\version "2.19.44"

music = \relative {

 \repeat volta 2 {

   { e4) e d d | c2. } % ) added after e4
 }
 \bar "|." }

\score {
