Thanks.

At the time I processed that file I used 2.12.2, but now, even after
having reverted to 2.12.2 from 2.16.2, I cannot get lilypond to run even
to the stage of giving me a log file to allow me to deal with any syntax
issues.

Now I'm wondering if I made some terrible error while installing
lilypond.  I am attempting a complete cleanup and will report back in a
couple hours.

Yours sincerely,
