Yes, it is because the file states to need version 2.19.0 and you cannot be sure that 2.18.2 will be sufficient.Hi. I am getting this: Parsing... error: program too old: 2.18.2 (file requires: 2.19.0) but apparently it's not an error,
It might run without any other errors because you don’t use new functions or syntax from 2.19.0. But the output of 2.19 is different in some cases (f. e. the whiteouts and multi-measure rests) so it makes sense to report the different versions.since the processing continues, and the pdf file is produced.
If you’re okay with the changes 2.19.0 makes, why not change the \version statement? (And why 2.19.0, not 2.19.2x?)
