Thanks David. This is where I was and what I typed: C:\Users\jenny\Documents\Music\Lilypond\Isaac\Coralis C\Pentecost XVIII Communion>convert-ly -e Coralis-notes-A.ly I've removed the local copy of convert-ly. I think that's better - it has converted each of the data files, and they appear to be unchanged, as I expected, but it reports:
convert-ly.py: error: : Unable to open file six times. As it happens, being a windows user, I have always compiled by right clicking on the data file and opening it with Lilypond.exe. That is no longer available. I suspect windows users probably all use frescobaldi these days. I think I'll give up and go back to ver 2.18.2. I wanted to engrave plainchant, but it probably isn't worth the hassle.

I'm not sure you do yourself any favours by copying odd files from the LP distribution into locations like data directories. In particular for windows, you should probably avoid having them in your current working directory. I would leave the binaries in wherever they were installed. You can certainly change directory to wherever you place your data files. Cheers, David.
