Ok, I’ve narrowed the issue down.  Frescobaldi is having problems with file 
paths that have question marks and accented characters.

Given a file named “song.ly” with just this content:

%%%%
\version "2.19"

\fixed c' { c d e f }
%%%%

Frescobaldi shows the PDF after engraving if this file is in either of the 
following directories:

Helló/
Hello?/

But Frescobaldi does not show the PDF if song.ly is in a directory named Helló?/

And yes, I use the fully punctuated song titles as the enclosing directory 
name.  macOS handles it, no problem.  I even use bash scripts to process these 
files without a hiccup.  The following are all examples of directory names I 
use:

¡Gloria! ¡Gloria!/
Bendiciones, ¡Cuántas Tienes Ya!/
Señor, ¿Quién Entrará?/

This problem is not present in Frescobaldi 2.20.
