What do you mean run convert-ly on test.ly

When I run convert-ly I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] jackmason]# convert-ly
/usr/bin/convert-ly (GNU LilyPond) 2.3.19

When I try this, I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] jackmason]# convert-ly test.ly
/usr/bin/convert-ly (GNU LilyPond) 2.3.19
Processing `test.ly' ...
/usr/bin/convert-ly: can't determine version for `test.ly'
/usr/bin/convert-ly: skipping: `test.ly'

Thanks for your help

Try convert-ly --help !!! And RTFM...

convert-ly needs to know for what version of lilypond your file has been write for in order to convert it.
You can either put a \version "x.x.x" statement in your lilypond file or use the --from=version convert-ly's switch.


By the way, \notes statements are not used anymore in 2.3.19.

You're trying to build a test file made for 2.2 using LilyPond 2.3. Please
run the convert-ly script on test.ly. What OS are you using?

Since the original poster has

X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.6 (1.4.6-2)

I reckon it's Linux.
