Getting back into Lilypond/Frescobaldi

[Michael Hendry]

I’ve started to review my old lead sheets, which use lilyjazz fonts, and find that previously unproblematic files are compiled with no staff, just a long list of chord names.

Going back to basics, with this rudimentary file...

\version "2.24.0"

{ c'4 d' e' f’}

…I get the following log, but the music review is as expected.

Starting lilypond 2.24.0 [Untitled]...

The lead-sheets deliver the same “Fontconfig…” error messages, but also include the following warnings:

warning: cannot find property type-check for `markFormatter' (translation-type?). perhaps a typing error?

warning: skipping assignment

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
