Howdy,

OK!

Changing 

\usepackage[nouppercase]{scrpage2}

to

\usepackage[nouppercase]{scrlayer-scrpage}

in MWE/Stylesheets/Preamble.sty AND changing the TeX Live 2020 configuration variable from `openout_any = p` to `openout_any = a` it all seems to work fine. I don't like it, but it works.

Still not smiling. :-(

Good Luck,
