Some progress (cheers!): Re-naming the file to convert-ly.py enabled my system to treat it like an executable file. However, now it says it can't open the files: === C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\RPC\Music\Christmas>convert-ly.py -e *.ly convert-ly.py (GNU LilyPond) 2.22.1
convert-ly.py: error: *.ly: Unable to open file convert-ly.py: warning: There was 1 error. C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\RPC\Music\Christmas> === There are 34 LilyPond files (all ending with .ly) in this folder. However, the multi-word names are separated by dashes, as in "It-Came-Upon-A-Midnight-Clear.ly". Does this confuse convert-ly? Am I missing something else?
