With the symbolic link solution, I'm "content" on the command line. As to Frescobaldi, I just tried again with the same results.

Yes, I understood that it wasn't a permanent setting... I tried it twice and both times it gave me a PDF. Maybe I missed something. (All I did was > LilyPond -> Engrave (Custom) > Output format: SVG > Engraving mode: Publish > [X] Delete intermediate output files > [X] Run Lilypond with English messages > [Run LilyPond] (I tried it with Engraving mode: Preview as well.) The output was: > Starting lilypond 2.24.2 [cruiscin_lan.ly]... > Processing > `/home/kjcole/gits/websites/pages.codeberg.org/dmc_songbook/source/cruiscin_lan.ly' > Parsing... > Interpreting music...[8] > Preprocessing graphical objects... > Interpreting music...[8][16][24][32] > Preprocessing graphical objects... > Interpreting music... > MIDI output to `cruiscin_lan.midi'... > Calculating line breaks... > Fitting music on 1 page... > Layout output to `cruiscin_lan.pdf'... > Success: compilation successfully completed > Completed successfully in 0.8". Examining the output file, it shows that it is, indeed, a PDF.
