The message appeared during processing of a score, and provides no
indication of where the culprit is.
I verified that all of my source files have the correct version number
(\version "2.25.18").
It would be helpful if the message identified the file causing the error.
I searched for this message in the LilyPond code, and found 8 files
contain the same message. (The list of files is at the end of this post).
This message didn't help me to identify the file causing the error, so
I've no idea what was causing the error.
How do I find out which file caused the error?

David Wright,
In reply to your post:
It's typical that an error occurs before the "outdated" message
is issued. But your OP reads as if the message appeared out of
the blue, without any previous error having occurred. Is that
correct, and if not, what was the error that you didn't report?
Cheers,
David.
The above is the original post that I sent.
My original score was complicated, so I came up with the post that you
replied to (with 1 error and the message).
The message "Note: compilation failed and \version outdated, did you
update input syntax with convert-ly? ", was the only message that was
reported to that score.
Posts can get a bit out of context when read separately, but many users
seem to prefer to do that (including myself).
I'm trying to solve my original issue, which was that I couldn't
determine which \include caused the error message in my original score.
I was hoping that someone who knows the internals of LilyPond would
suggest that the source code could be changed to identify which file and
line was causing the error.
Maybe there's someone out there who can help?
