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...

Can you post a MWE?  (Minimal Working Example, where "minimal" means as small as possible and "working" means it compiles but shows the error.) Sorry for the slow reply, busy week.
