Thank you for this. That eliminated the unbound variable error code. Interestingly when I searched the Lilypond Notation Reference for 2.26 two days ago, I ended up with the set-global-font approach rather than property-defaults.fonts.music. I can’t replicate that this morning. Perhaps a browser cache issue. I am still running into a problem, which is: Parsing... Interpreting music...[8][16][24][32][40][48][56] Preprocessing graphical objects... fatal error: cannot find font 'Lilyjazz-20' (search path: /Users/tim/Library/Application Support/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/lilypond-binaries/lilypond-2.26.0/share/lilypond/2.26.0/ly:/Users/tim/Library/Application Support/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/lilypond-binaries/lilypond-2.26.0/share/lilypond/2.26.0/ps:/Users/tim/Library/Application Support/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/lilypond-binaries/lilypond-2.26.0/share/lilypond/2.26.0/scm:/Users/tim/Library/Application Support/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/lilypond-binaries/lilypond-2.26.0/share/lilypond/2.26.0/fonts/otf/:/Users/tim/Library/Application Support/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/lilypond-binaries/lilypond-2.26.0/share/lilypond/2.26.0/fonts/svg/:) Exited with return code 1. Why is Lilypond looking for ‘Lilyjazz-20’ which does not exist and has never existed by that name? I’ve used the existing Lilyjazz fonts for 15 years or more with no problem until now. Renaming the Lilyjazz font to ‘Lilyjazz-20’ throws up another error code: Parsing...
