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.
Thanks
Jay

As you seem to have spaces in directory and/or filenames the arguments need
to be quoted. Maybe that is your issue?
e.g. convert-ly -e "C:\Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\
mytemplate.ly"
Sorry for total ignorance.
