Well, I only tried to figure out what it _might_ have been that the OP 
did, in order to be any help.
When I opened the ly/Welcome_to_Lilypond.ly file from the 2.18.2 
installation (which has \version "2.16.0" at the beginning) in 
Frescobaldi and had it compiled, the automatic version selection of 
Frescobaldi used 2.16.2, which then did not recur on it’s own init.ly, 
but on the 2.18.2 one from the directory of the file being processed. 
That _might_ have been the OP’s problem.
It seems that she is not a very experienced user (and not very 
comfortable with English) and thus has difficulties to describe the problem.

Yours sincerely, Simon
