Score by default returns a rather large error message when it can't format the value.
Instead of returning that to the user we want to return a single string i18n message.
Instead of:
Just return "Unable to compile LilyPond input file"

The current error message is not user-friendly indeed, but dropping the line
.../file.ly:12:9: error: unrecognized string, not in text script or \lyricmode
safkjsanfkjsfjsafsafwould make finding the error a lot harder, so this should be preserved somehow (the best would be to convert the line/column numbers so that they correspond to the position of the error in the wikitext).

I came up with this so far.. it looks nicer and more concise (the code is the opposite 😄 but will try to improve some stuff)
