strangely output-attributes is not part of the original syntax, but
part of the conversion:

%    \override Glissando.id = #(lambda (g) "foo")

in zither-tab-01.ly has become

%    \override Glissando.output-attributes = #(lambda (g) "foo")

after conversion. But as this is just a comment, it cannot matter.

But sadly, the error message persists. This is something for the
lilypond-user@gnu.org mailing list...
