			The <code>version</code> parameter is the LilyPond version used to compile the snippet. A <code>\version</code> statement with this version will also be added automatically, so don't repeat it in the snippet code. In almost all cases, you should put the major and minor number of the latest stable release series of LilyPond, e.g., 2.24. This will automatically select the latest micro release in that series, e.g., 2.24.4. However, in case your example specifically requires a newer development version, you can put that specific version here, e.g., 2.25.27 (it will be automatically downloaded on the wiki if needed).
