No, probably rather about \lyricsto and \addlyrics.
Hmm. According to our docs, that was 2.0->2.2... and I can't see
what the problem was.
Actually, the old \addlyrics syntax was supported to keep backward
compatibility for quite a long time (convert-ly converted the construct
to \oldaddlyrics).
1) it might be nice to give some more info about this, so that
people *can* make these updates manually.
2) it would of course be nice to automate this. At the moment, I
can't see why this would take more than five hours. Maybe 15
hours if the person had never touched python before.
See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2007-12/msg00156.html
I don't think the problem is that easy, especially since the music
expression may in the general case contain an arbitrarily deep nesting
of {} and <<>>, which means that you cannot use regular expressions.
