Oh dear:

I suppose trying it with 2.4.5 wasn't such a good idea :-).

I tried using convert-ly to update the file and then got this error
whilst compiling it:

address@hidden:~$ lilypond test2.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.4.5

Parsing...
Interpreting music...
warning: lily-guile: installation problem: deprecated encoding
requested: "feta-music"

I thought that trying a newer version might help the problem I had
before (it couldn't find the voices with your suggestions of how to
solve the lyrics + music problem) but it seems to have made things
worse.  Perhaps it might be simpler to try the previous version again,
if there's a simple fix for that original problem.

Thanks for your continued help, and apologies for creating yet more
problems :-).

bye just now,
