Just run convert-ly on the file and see what it changes
it to. I hope you have inserted \version commands in your
file corresponding to the version you used before.

That's a good question. I tried in vain to replace the drawing
command with the command for drawing slurs but they weren't
compatible. However, what you suggest should work well, just 
turn off the tuplet brackets and add slurs. You can set the 
vertical position of the denominator using
\property Score.TupletBracket \set #'padding = #2
(the default value is 0.9).
