Have you tried to convert-ly these files ? They have been written for 2.13.8 according to the website. It seems at least some files lack a version statement. Actually I have found not one such statement but I did not check all files. So you need to insert \version "2.13.8" at the top of each file (*.ly and *.ily) and then apply convert-ly to all of them. Look up convert-ly in the manual under http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/usage/updating-files-with-convert_002dly Frescobaldi provides an interface to convert-ly > Am I even compiling his .ily files correctly as I have never compiled .ily > files?

Thanks so much! *.ily are by convention files supposed to be included by other ly files. Nothing special about them. you could use any other name (and include that).
