      I am also getting similar warnings on Fedora with LilyPond 2.22.2
      (“unknown
      element reset-dirs”). They seem to be harmless. Apparently, the
      system's font
      configuration file for Fontconfig uses features that were not
      supported in
      the older version of Fontconfig that ships with LilyPond. For me,
      these
      warnings don't appear in 2.23.12, which is also the latest
      (unstable) version.
      Could you try upgrading to 2.23.12?

      That means you didn't install the LilyJazz font. It doesn't
      come with LilyPond, you had certainly installled it on your
      previous computer. Download it from here:
      
      https://github.com/OpenLilyPondFonts/lilyjazz
      
      (use Code > Download ZIP).
      
      How to install the files is described in the file
      LilyPond-Fonts-Installation-And-Usage.txt that you will find in
      your download.

      It does exist, but since the name starts with a dot, it is a
      "hidden
      directory". Those are reserved for things non-technically-savvy
      users
      don't need/want to know about, and aren't displayed in the Finder
      by
      default (but you can show them:
      https://nordlocker.com/blog/how-to-show-hidden-files-mac/).
