Hi,

Thanks for reporting. Could you test if this is still a problem with the 
latest development version? You can download it from here:

https://lilypond.org/development.fr.html

There is no documentation explaining how to install it at the moment 
(the update is being done right now), but you can read about that in

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user-fr/2022-03/msg00069.html

(it's in French, but judging from your name and your message, I guess 
that'll be fine for you).

Thanks again,
Jean
