A few hours ago I wrote (re 2.23.5fixed)
Well, initially I ran into irrelevancies because my .ly file (for 2.22) has #on-the-fly, which is no longer acceptable. I tried running convert-ly.py, but it was missing a .dll. I will detail this later.
The attached file details this in its Case 1. Case 2 is a workround using the 2.23.5 (1.8) system's python. Cheers, Robin
