I installed 2.19.84 and I believe I just answered the first question
below: Apparently \compressFullBarRests has been deleted from Lily
and now we have \compressMMRests which has different functionality.
I guessing convert-ly won't handle this and that any time I want to
redo any of my hundreds of pieces (not original compositions) I will
have to edit them for the new functionality of \compressMMRests.
I have no idea why people "guess convert-ly won't handle this" and break
into a rant rather than actually trying.
I wasn't aware of the name change of \compressFullBarRests at that
point. I have no doubt about the ability of convert-ly to do a simple
name change. I was thinking convert-ly could do the structural change
I erroneously thought was necessary to solve wha I thought was my
problem.
convert-ly actually does some fairly involved things these days if one
gives it a chance.
I wouldn't consider what I said to be a rant and didn't intend to
rant.
"I guessing convert-ly won't handle this and that any time I want to

Why stress that you are talking about hundreds of pieces here that
you'll have to manually edit?
Sorry! I didn't do enough research before presuming that
\compressMMRests was a rename of \compressFullBarRests.
Out of simple curiosity what is the purpose of the \compressMMRests { }
structure rather than the \set or \override action I would think of?
I'm guessing \compressMMRests does \set \unset or \override \revert pairs.
Thank you,
Paul
OTOH I may be able to get the old definition of \compressFullBarRests
and put in my several \include files.
Or you could let convert-ly replace it with \compressEmptyMeasures.
Which as you now know is what I did. (The new name is misleading but
I can live with that.)
That is kind of you.
