| Thank you! That worked!
I did not realize that
“Force use of the tools’ #1 lines” option needs to be checked on
I found that /opt/local/bin/convert-ly (part of 2.22.2) is a python script that starts with: #!/opt/local/bin/python3.10
while ~/lilypond-2.24.0/bin/convert-ly is a shell script that starts with: #!/bin/sh
Maybe Frescobaldi assumes that convert-ly needs to be a python script if the option is not checked.
I think it would be nice to document this somewhere since Frescobaldi is now mentioned (and perhaps strongly recommended) in the Learning Manual.
Thanks again.

Hello list,
I’ve been running Lilypond 2.22.2 and Frescobaldi 3.2, both installed with MacPorts, on macOS Monterey 12.6.2. I’ve just download “official” lilypond-2.24.0-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz, unzip/untar it in my home directory, and now I have:
~/lilypond-2.24.0/
Then, in Frescobaldi, I opened Frescobaldi -> Preferences…,
selected LilyPond Preferences,
clicked +Add… for the LilyPond version to use,
specified ~/lilypond-2.24.0/bin/lilypond for LilyPond Command,
and clicked Set as Default to make the 2.24.0 as the default.
By choosing LilyPond -> Engrave, Frescobaldi runs LilyPond 2.24.0, not the older MacPort-installed 2.22.2., and I got anticipated syntax errors as my LilyPond code is written for 2.22.
Then I choose Tools -> Update with convert-ly… but I cannot find LilyPond 2.24.0 in the pull down menu where you expect to choose the desired LilyPond version. I found only "LilyPond 2.22.2 (/opt/local/bin/lilypond)” in the pull down menu.
My understanding is that Frescobaldi would automatically look for convert-ly in the same directory as the LilyPond executable is located (that is ~/lilypond-2.24.0/bin/lilypond) and there certainly exists ~/lilypond-2.24.0/bin/convert-ly.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I did a bit of experimentation on my system (after installing the MacPorts edition of Frescobaldi, as I normally code my lilypond sources directly in the editor of a Java IDE)… the crucial part appears to be that for 2.24.0 the “Force use of the tools’ #1 lines” option needs to be checked on the Tool Commands window. After that convert-ly for 2.24.0 started appearing in the dialog for me and could run successfully. Before that I already manually started each of the tools from Finder to be able to unlock the tools from Mac OS’s Security & Privacy settings, so if just ticking the box doesn’t make It work for you start each of the tools directly from finder, followed by unblocking its execution in the Security & Privacy settings and after that try again.
