Could it be that you have several lilypond versions installed on your
system?
In that case the Convert-ly field in Edit>Preferences Lilypond-Settings
Edit… should be set to the full path of the used lilypond version and
not only the "LilyPond-Command" field. So all three (Command, Convert-ly
and Lilypond-book) should contain the full path to the executable.
