Just a follow up to say that (almost) all my problems have been resolved by moving from 32-bit Lilypond on Windows to 64-bit Lilypond on Linux. Many thanks to all the kind folk who have helped me try to determine the causes. Problems left are minor syntactical ones which I'll wrestle with quiet

Send me the file and I will look at it. As mentioned, a picture is a description but it's not code. Happy to help and check if we have something to work with. It would be helpful to know platform, and lilypond version. I know in these sort of cases often MWE"s make it hard to duplicate the is
