  I'm a fan of laziness. I find the easy lazy way to do something while still 
accomplishing the task with a desired quality. Since I presently prefer 
Lilypond output over other programs, I'd still call even your laziness a very 
nice thing for you to honor us all with (although your code cleaners may 
disagree).
  Could this be resolved by handling the parenthesis related fixes with 
launching entirely different code to either execute those changes or to patch 
the bad conversions?
  I found a similar scenario from running 1.8.x and using statements like 
#(set-octavation 1) lead to the parenthesis stepping further over, which 
caused syntax errors. I corrected mine, but isn't convert-ly what 
mutopiaproject should rely on for non-manual updates?
