Thanks, Jean.

While we're at it, there are two other changes that I don't see listed in https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/changes-big-page.html

• -dbackend=cairo
• Jonas invited users to try this out in the announcement for 2.23.12
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2022-08/msg00364.html
  but cairo isn't mentioned at all in the changes doc.
  
• \bar ".|:-|"
• This is what convert-ly did to my 2.22 instances of \bar ".|:" , which isn't even in the 2.23 NR.
  
• It's especially curious since the 2.23 changes doc uses the 2.22 form unchanged elsewhere:
• "The solution is to place \bar inside the music for each staff, as is usual with most commands.
  <<
    \new Staff { \bar ".|:" c' }
    \new Staff { \bar ".|:" c' }
  >>
