Change the statement to 2.2.0 ... convert-ly will then attempt to convert FROM
2.2.0 up to the current 2.3.19.
The version statement should represent the version of lilypond that compiles
correctly. This is then used by convert-ly as the starting point from which
to do the conversion.
Also - please keep responses ON the list - if you are having problems, oythers
will as well & then they can look through the archives to get help.
