it would nice to have a backup in convert-ly which deserves the name. actually convert-ly does backup the file being converted - but always to the same file (filename.~ly), and so the original gets quickly lost if you press the convert button twice.
I fancy a simple rule for this: add an increasing number to the backup file. this way you can check if a file already exists, if yes-> increase the number, if no -> backup using this last number. running convert-ly more than once on the same file would then result in myFile.~ly.1 myFile.~ly.2 myFile.~ly.3 … thanks!
