As these functions are not intended for the usual LilyPond user I don't think the NR is suitable, other than to have them listed in A22. Similarly, they will also be listed in the IR under Scheme functions. Perhaps the best place to add a description is in Section 2 of the Usage Manual where convert-ly is discussed? A new subsection 2.2 Testing the version (displacing the existing sections down 1) could be added. But I concede mixing with convert-ly is hardly ideal.
