It usually works reasonably well when finding a page like that to
replace just the version number in the URL to get suitable information.
Occasionally you will hit a chapter that does not exist for v2.22 while
it does for v2.23, but the vast majority will be a modification of what
was there before and named identically apart from the version number.

Thank you everyone for your answers, Google wasn’t the best choice when I was 
looking for this. Thank you for guiding me for the right place!

You see the v2.23 in that URL?

There is no guarantee that future extensions of LilyPond will be
undocumented, so if you use documentation for future versions of
LilyPond (compared to the version you use), you might run into problems
occasionally.

Using on macOS Monterey, compiled from macports

Taken the snippet from
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/long-repeats 






Here the line

\fixed c'' {

is missing.


   \repeat volta 6 {
     c4 d e f
     \alternative {
       \volta 1,2,3 { c2 e }
       \volta 4,5 { f2 d }
       \volta 6 { e2 f }
     }
   }
   c1
}

%


With the above line it works for me.
Even w/o that line I get at least some of the above compiled. I 
certainly do not get your erros. I'm on Windows and 2.23.7 though.


Kind regards,
Michael

Hello,

You are using development version (2.23.x) syntax/features with stable
(2.22.2) version installed.

You are using LilyPond 2.22. \volta is new in 2.23.
