Etc.

I looked at the code. I am a lawyer. I kind of get it. If it were me it would a find & replace editing problem.

Seems like a nice package. I would like to get it up and running.

Hello,

Error: Symbol’s function definition is void: -on: This error indicates that a dependency package is not installed. If you install Org QL with M-x package-install, it will install things correctly.

Also, FYI, you should probably upgrade to Emacs 29.3; version 27 is rather old now, and some important issues are fixed in later versions.
