I based my code on your example for printing chord names without staffs. The resulting file was only two pages of music, but was going to be the basis for more extensive effort in my music studies.

convert-ly failed as follows:
1) It failed to convert my page size when using papersize = "letter".
2) It failed to convert pagenumber = "no"
3) It created syntax error with the \key bes \major specification which formerly enabled me to put key signature in front of staffless chords when I added appropriate engraver.
4) It increased the font size in my headers.
5) Spacing between multiple lines of chords increased.
6) Invisible rest that I added after page break to fake it into working between consecutive scores became larger vertically.

Latex is now complaining about not finding fonts.

And like a fool, I used -e option on convert-ly so I no longer have my original file. I was diluted into trusting the robustness of the program because of the robust behavior I saw with the remarkable clean formatting behavior the the program shows in music formatting and pervious 100% success rate with convert-ly.

You people had better be careful. Unless this is a fluke, you may be losing control of your code. It has given me second thoughts about using lilypond for any substantual effort.
