So your first statement:

>>>>>   $(let

was wrong, and my guess

>>>> I don't.  Copy and paste error?

concerning your use of Paul's converted code was correct.  Like with
_any_ material prepared for an older version of LilyPond, you have to
run convert-ly on it before using it.  Which is just what Paul did in
order to arrive at "his" version.  Yes, this rewrites the Scheme
expression.
