Hi,

I'll post this to the Lilypond team as well.

I'm running Frescobaldi 3.2 and Lilypond 2.24.0. Frescobaldi isn't aware of \section, \sectionLabel, or \fine. There may be others but these are the ones I've noticed. To explain a little more, none of these commands appear in the dropdown lists after I start typing \se ...  or \fi ...

I've set the preferences for Frescobaldi to use 2.24.0 and I've used convert-ly, no problems there.

Any suggestion how I can force Frescobaldi to identify new commands? I haven't seen this behaviour in the seven years I've been using both.

Ubuntu 20.04 with all current updates
Frescobaldi 3.2
Lilypond 2.24.0

This is because these commands are new in LilyPond 2.24, which has only been released a week ago. Therefore, Frescobaldi doesn’t know about them.

We’re soon going to release Frescobaldi 3.3, and hopefully we’ll have time to update the list of LilyPond commands by then.

Thanks Jean,

I had assumed that Frescobaldi queried or parsed Lilypond when it was directed to a new version. Your explanation is very clear and I'm looking forward to working with the new version of Frescobaldi.
