A: I have tried over and over to follow the docs. AND I have copy and pasted both Mats suggestions and now Simon's . Mats has never worked. Yes the version info is in the file. No it did not work. Simon's suggestion, I renamed the file without the space and in fact after that copy/pasted his version into run and it can't find convert-ly so I browsed to my applications file (on my desktop which is where I install lily from) and convert-ly flashes and there is no new version or file that I can find anywhere and the problem continues to exist.
So I need more hints as either 1] how to change the header so it works the way it did in 2.10 or 2] how to get convert-ly to work on my machine.

Maybe that is your issue? e.g. convert-ly -e "C:\Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\ mytemplate.ly" Sorry for total ignorance. > Jay > > On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 3:04 PM, Mats Bengtsson > <mats.bengts...@ee.kth.se>wrote: > >> The standard solution to all such compatibility problems is to run the >> file through convert-ly, to automatically update the syntax. >> (Just remember to specify \version "2.10.0" or something like that in the >> file header, so that convert-ly knows what to do.) >> >> /Mats >> >> Jay Hamilton wrote: >> >>> Mats sent me this solution for multiple lines in the copyright and now >>> the bottom is overlapping and in one line.
