This was option #3. :) Just this script can save some time. Ideally, somebody would spend two hours modifying this script so that it only looks inside \markup or \lyrics or something like that. Then perhaps another two hours to integrate it with convert-ly -- or, if that's not possible/ideal, dump it somewhere on the web and get our convert-ly docs to point to it as a "helper script" for a particularly difficult transistion. I'm not offering to do any of this, but if somebody else is interested, I'm quite willing to mentor them and help them through these steps.
