Hi all, I have been wrestling with convert-ly and it seems to have beaten me.
I read the manual on convert-ly and this is what I got. convert-ly -e --to=1.3.150 `find . -name '*.ly' -print` I did convert-ly -e --to=2.2.6 `find . -name '*.ly' -print` this produced a blank file with the *.ly.NEW extension I tried convert-ly withwords.ly --output=tremlis.ly I again got a blank file with the extension .ly.NEW I did convert-ly -s I got the following so I see convert-ly knows what to do.: heone:/disks/hda2/bakup/projectnigun/notation/norai/lily/ly# convert-ly -s withwords.ly 0.1.9: \header { key = concat + with + operator } 0.1.19: deprecated \octave; can't convert automatically 0.1.20: deprecated \textstyle, new \key syntax 0.1.21: \musical_pitch -> \musicalpitch, \meter -> \time 1.0.0: 0.1.21 -> 1.0.0 1.0.1: \accidentals -> \keysignature, specialaccidentals -> keyoctaviation 1.0.2: \header { key = concat + with + operator } 1.0.3: \melodic -> \notes 1.0.4: default_{paper,midi} 1.0.5: ChoireStaff -> ChoirStaff 1.0.6: foo = \translator {\type .. } ->\translator {\type ..; foo; } 1.0.7: \lyric -> \lyrics 1.0.10: [2/3 ]1/1 -> \times 2/3 1.0.12: Chord syntax stuff 1.0.13: <a ~ b> c -> <a b> ~ c 1.0.14: <[a b> <a b]>c -> [<a b> <a b>] 1.0.16: \type -> \context, textstyle -> textStyle 1.0.18: \repeat NUM Music Alternative -> \repeat FOLDSTR Music Alternative 1.0.19: fontsize -> fontSize, midi_instrument -> midiInstrument, SkipBars -> skipBars 1.0.20: {,tie,slur}ydirection -> {v,tieV,slurV}erticalDirection 1.0.21: hshift -> horizontalNoteShift 1.1.52: deprecate \grouping 1.1.55: \wheel -> \coda 1.1.65: slurdash -> slurDash, keyoctaviation -> keyOctaviation 1.1.66: semi -> volta 1.1.67: beamAuto -> noAutoBeaming 1.2.0: automaticMelismas -> automaticMelismata 1.2.1: dynamicDir -> dynamicDirection 1.3.4: \cadenza -> \cadenza{On|Off} 1.3.5: beamAuto moment properties 1.3.17: stemStyle -> flagStyle 1.3.18: staffLineLeading -> staffSpace 1.3.23: \\repetitions feature dropped 1.3.35: textEmptyDimension -> textNonEmpty 1.3.38: \musicalpitch { a b c } -> #'(a b c) 1.3.39: \key A ; ->\key a; 1.3.41: [:16 c4 d4 ] -> \repeat "tremolo" 2 { c16 d16 } 1.3.42: Staff_margin_engraver deprecated, use Instrument_name_engraver 1.3.49: noteHeadStyle value: string -> symbol 1.3.58: noteHeadStyle value: string -> symbol 1.3.59: \key X ; -> \key X major; 1.3.68: latexheaders = "\input global" -> latexheaders = "global" 1.3.92: basicXXXProperties -> XXX, Repeat_engraver -> Volta_engraver 1.3.93: property definiton case (eg. onevoice -> oneVoice) 1.3.97: ChordName -> ChordNames 1.3.98: CONTEXT.textStyle -> GROB.#font-style 1.3.102: beamAutoEnd -> autoBeamSettings \push (end * * * *) 1.3.111: \push -> \override, \pop -> \revert 1.3.113: LyricVoice -> LyricsVoice 1.3.117: identifier names: $!foo_bar_123 -> xfooBarABC 1.3.120: paper_xxx -> paperXxxx, pedalup -> pedalUp. 1.3.122: drarnChords -> chordChanges, \musicalpitch -> \pitch 1.3.136: ly-X-elt-property -> ly-X-grob-property 1.3.138: point-and-click argument changed to procedure. 1.3.138: followThread -> followVoice. 1.3.139: font-point-size -> font-design-size. 1.3.141: xNoDots -> xSolid 1.3.144: Chorda -> Corda 1.3.145: ContextNameXxxxVerticalExtent -> XxxxVerticalExtent 1.3.146: semicolons removed 1.3.147: default-neutral-direction -> neutral-direction 1.3.148: "(align" -> "(axis", "(rows" -> "(columns" 1.5.33: SystemStartDelimiter -> systemStartDelimiter 1.5.38: SystemStartDelimiter -> systemStartDelimiter 1.5.40: breakAlignOrder property names 1.5.49: noAutoBeaming -> autoBeaming 1.5.52: tuplet-X-visibility -> X-visibility 1.5.56: Pitch::transpose -> ly-transpose-pitch 1.5.58: deprecate textNonEmpty 1.5.59: XxxxVerticalExtent -> xxxVerticalExtent 1.5.62: visibility-lambda -> break-visibility 1.5.67: automaticMelismata turned on by default 1.5.68: ly-set-X-property -> ly-set-X-property!
