You probably want something like this

\version "2.23.3"

There do exist web-based LilyPond forums:

- As Robin noted in another thread, you can read this list
  and post to it using Nabble at http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/,

- StackExchange has a LilyPond tag: 
https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/lilypond,

- We have an IRC channel. Don't trust the website, it was moved recently
  to irc://irc.libera.chat/lilypond (this is being updated). Note that I
  don't know if many people actually use it (I don't).

- There is a Facebook group. I wouldn't recommend it because
  of privacy issues, though (I personally stopped replying
  on it for this reason).

That being said, most power users tend to hang out
on this list. One good reason is that email often
works better with long-term archival.

Best regards,
Jean
