Thanks! For some reason, even after running convert-ly on the one in the thread, it was still throwing an error. The one you attached works.

Peace-

Jon

So far as I can tell, this hasn’t made it into LilyPond core yet (as was suggested in the linked thread), so I’m still using the solution in that thread (having run it through convert-ly to update it).  I’ve attached what I’m using below.
