Do you mean the font size? It can be changed in Edit > Preferences.

There is exactly one difference compared to a score with \version "2.24" in it. 
Namely, if the compilation happens to fail, as a heuristic, LilyPond guesses 
that this is a score that does not work anymore due to syntax changes, and 
prints out a helpful message recommending to run convert-ly.

Other than that, it makes no difference.

My guess is that you already updated your score and forgot, because I cannot 
think of another explanation.
