I stopped using Frescobaldi and Lilypond at the beginning of the Covid pandemic and since then I have bought a new iMac with Monterey and transferred files across,
Trying to get back up and running, I’ve installed Frescobaldi 3.1.3, which appears to be functioning perfectly, but I get these error reports:

Thanks, Jean.
I know about dot-files, but overlooked the fact that in the Mac Finder directories are displayed before filenames, and I was looking among the dot-files!
fonts.conf reads:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<dir prefix="/System/Library/Fonts"/>
</fontconfig>
I am also getting similar warnings on Fedora with LilyPond 2.22.2 (“unknown
element reset-dirs”). They seem to be harmless. Apparently, the system's font
configuration file for Fontconfig uses features that were not supported in
the older version of Fontconfig that ships with LilyPond. For me, these
warnings don't appear in 2.23.12, which is also the latest (unstable) version.
Could you try upgrading to 2.23.12?

That means you didn't install the LilyJazz font. It doesn't
come with LilyPond, you had certainly installled it on your
previous computer. Download it from here:
https://github.com/OpenLilyPondFonts/lilyjazz
(use Code > Download ZIP).
How to install the files is described in the file
LilyPond-Fonts-Installation-And-Usage.txt that you will find in
your download.
I found I don’t have /Applications/Lilypond.app directory. My copy of the lilypond executable was compiled by MacPorts.
Googling for a way to create an App, I found:
https://macappstore.org/lilypond/
And having gone through the whole process I’ve ended up with a 32-bit executable, which won’t work in the 64-bit-only Monterey environment.
