Notation manual is now correct maybe a cache issue.

\include brings the version warning as follows:

To avoid changing the version on each of my many .ly files I put the
version in a .ily which has the music and is included in each .ly which sets
up the individual part.

Here is a minimal example of my version situation:

vtest.ly:

\version "2.19.80" 
\relative{ c''4 }

called by:

vtesti.ily:

\include "vtest.ly"

i.e.:

address@hidden:~/music/tcb$ lilypond vtesti.ily 
GNU LilyPond 2.19.80
Processing `vtesti.ily'
Parsing...
vtesti.ily:1: warning: no \version statement found, please add

\version "2.19.80"

for future compatibility

...

Thank you,
