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
quietly. But the exit code error seems to have been caused by a memory
issue on Windows.
Thank you all again,
Alasdair
