I tend not to use convert-ly because I feel upgrading a file version would unfairly force anyone who wants to compile my music to upgrade their LilyPond installation. Upgrading might not be straightforward when using a standard distro, and I'd hate for someone to risk destabilizing their workin

Maybe Lilypond should also give a warning if it on a lower language version. The assumption here is that lower language versions are generally compatible with higher program versions, but this is not true. So basically we only guarantee that a specific language version will be working with the s
