This is a known incompatibility with Ghostscript 10.02.1 that Fedora updated to. Please file a bug with their LilyPond packaging to update to a version with the fix. While you are at it, you might as well remind them that odd numbers are "unstable" versions, and they should consider only the even "stable" versions... In the mean time, you can download the official binaries from https://lilypond.org/download.html which come with their own version of Ghostscript and do not have this problem. Jonas
