Could please anybody formulate a simple rule what has changed ? Is the
following true:

        Inside chords <  > nothing else may appear then pitch names.

        All other things ("!", "\arpeggio", "-.", "-^", "--", "->", "\fermata",
                "\trill", "\prall", "\spanrequest ...",
                "\cr", "\rced", "\segno", ...)
        must appear after the closing '>' sign ?

This has to do with your system performance especially if you use
a softwre MIDI synthesizer like TiMidity, FluidSynth ...

It should output:

 LilyPond check: found version: 2.1.6
 WITHOUT semicolons.
 WITH wavelines (for trills)
 WITH slures in graces
 NOTE LENGTHs after chords

If not: Is the lilypond command in your PATH ?
