Uh, it even "works" with \version "2.7.38". You just have to use a
version of LilyPond that is at least at version 2.15.16 (for addition of
the \stringTuning command with the somewhat undescriptive but colorful
commit message

Get rid of most of the insane string-tunings API
) and at least version 2.15.43 to allow for assigning a value to
five-bass with a normal LilyPond assignment.
You seem to misunderstand what \version does. It is important for
convert-ly, and LilyPond will complain whenever the \version header
indicates a version newer than itself (or, for some strange reason,
older than 2.7.38). But apart from this warning, LilyPond does not
change behavior. It's still the same old 2.18.2 or whatever else it has
been compiled as.
