You should definitely not remove any .ly~ file until you have made sure that the updated file gives the expected results, since the .ly~ contains a copy of your original file (before the conversion) and since convert-ly is not always fool-proof.
It seems that the formulation in the manual has already been changed in the version for LilyPond 2.5. Take a look at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-convert_002dly.html and send a comment to the mailing list if you have suggestions for further clarifications.

Hi again.
I've tried convert-ly *.ly in my folder, and it has converted all my .ly.
Great, but it is not what is writen in lily manual, or am I wrong ?

Hi list !
I've just moved to 2.4.2 on XP, and I'm converting all my files.
I've got 2 pb :
1. convert-ly -e `find . -name '*.ly' -print` doesn't work, and no error message.
2. when I make convert-ly -e fichier.ly, I have à fichier.ly updated but a new fichier.ly~ which I have to erase manually.
Any help ?
Regards
