As far as I know, you can use any version of Frescobaldi with any
version of LilyPond.  Frescobaldi has the capacity to store the paths
to multiple versions of LilyPond and can even change the LilyPond
version based on what you write in the \version command of your input
file.

Check out Edit -> Preferences -> LilyPond Preferences.
