Hello Stu, here you see two messages: One is that your file did fail to compile. The other one is a note that the version string is older than your Lilypond version, and a suggestion that this might be the cause. From your messages you are clearly compiling a 2.25.18 file with 2.25.21, so this explains why you get that message. It is quite unlikely though that this minor version difference broke your file.
Instead if you look into the output Lilypond should give you a hint. In the code you send for example you clearly see the error messages <PathSource>/2024-11-18_MessageCompilationFailedSimple.ly:3:10: error: cannot find file: `../../NonExistent.ly' Note that having an error does not necessarily prevent Lilypond from compiling the file. Not finding an include is such a case. Lilypond will give an error and eventually stop with code 1, but before it will still try to compile the score as is. As similar behaviour can be seen simply by giving a future version string or even just omiting minor version for unstable. It is not really possible to further diagnose the issue without having the actual output of your file. Cheers, Valentin Am Montag, 18.
