Thanks, but that's not directly the problem, because it doesn't occur
with the lilypond version from the package repositories (ubuntu).
So "which" surely points me to that one installed in /usr/bin. But the
other two installations don't work.

I looked at it a bit more closely and there are some things I don't
understand:

I have three versions 2.14 (from the repository), 2.16 and 2.17 (from
the website):
                2.14            2.16            2.17
installed in    /usr/bin        /home/.../sw/lilypond2.1x
convert-ly      is a py-script  is a link to lilypond-wrapper.python

This lilypond-wrapper then calls another convert-ly, which is then a
python script.

This led me to the conclusion that the "executables" in bin cannot be
used in Frescobaldi, but the ones in lilypond/usr/bin have to be used.
But that doesn't work either.
