I hope you have logged off and on again since you installed LilyPond.
Start a command prompt, enter the command
set PATH
and send me a copy of the result. (You can copy and paste from the command
prompt, if you first right-click on the blue border at the top of the
window, select
"Properties", mark "QuickEdit Mode" and press OK. Then, you can select any
text in the window and press Enter to copy it.)

Thanks, Mats.
I still have some .ly files in 2.8 which I need to convert, so it is
pertinent. I was able to change directory to a folder containing a .ly
file, but convert-ly is still not working. Windows doesn't seem to
recognized convert-ly as a program; and, in fact, it has a .py (is that
python?) extension. I'm attaching .pdf screen shots of the command
prompt session and of my LilyPond\...\usr\bin directory. Do I need to
modify or run convert-ly.py somehow to create an executable? Or am I
missing something relating to python? LilyPond\...\usr\lib\python2.4
does exist.
Thank you to you and everyone involved in helping create and maintain
LilyPond and the LP community.

Subject: Re: Convert-ly problem
The short answer is that there haven't been any syntax changes between
2.10.0 and 2.10.7, so there's no need to run convert-ly.
Anyway, the procedure is:
- Start a command prompt: Start Menu -> Programs -> Accessories ->
Command Prompt
- Change working directory to the folder where you have your .ly files.
For example, if you have them in the folder "lily" in "My Documents",
do cd "My Documents\lily"
(Note that you can save key strokes by typing in cd My
and then press TAB to expand that to My Documents)
- Run the command itself:
convert-ly -e myfile.ly

Greetings -
I guess I have a couple of questions and maybe a problem.
I'm running Windows XP Pro V.2002 SP2.
I downloaded <lilypond-2.10.6-1.mingw.exe>. I tried to run it and got
a message saying I needed to uninstall the old version. I uninstalled
the old version (2.10.0), rebooted, and ran
<lilypond-2.10.6-1.mingw.exe> without any problem. I was trying to run
<convert-ly> on my old files (question #1 : was that necessary when
moving to a new release but same version, i.e., 2.10.0 --> 2.10.6?)
but I couldn't get it to work - at all.
So, question #2 : has anyone successfully run convert-ly on a WinXP
Pro box? If so, would you be willing to share the process? I tried
Open with
convert-ly ; I tried using the command prompt and 1) navigating to
the
convert-ly directory and running it from there, with no path and with
a path, and 2) navigating to my *.ly folder and running convert-ly
from there. I was able to get convert-ly to open from the C:\Program
Files\LilyPond\usr\bin folder, but I couldn't get it to recognize a
file name.
And now, the problem : while I was working on this, I took a look at
my executables, and I've got a "lilypond-windows.exe" as well as a
"lilypond.exe". I've always used the "lilypond.exe" to run LilyPond
against a .ly file, and I'm assuming that's what I should be using
now.
When I checked the file properties of both lilypond-windows.exe and
lilypond.exe, I found the file version to be "2.10.0.1" in both cases.
I don't know if 2.10.6 was installed, because I ran lilypond.exe
against "danse macabre.ly" (which I had tried (unsuccessfully) to
update with convert-ly.py), and got an error in the log :
"Parsing...
error: Incorrect lilypond version: 2.6.0 (2.7.38, 2.8.4)
error: Consider updating the input with the convert-ly script"
>From this, it looks like I'm not running 2.10.6. Does this seem
familiar
to anyone, and does anyone have a suggestion for checking more
dependably for the version number?
Thanks,
Ralph
