Re: confused about 1.8

[Mats Bengtsson]

What is the problem? If you upgrade your LilyPond installation, you
have to learn the syntax of the new version. There are no huge
differences but several smaller ones. One good way of learning the
differences is to run an old example through convert-ly and see what
it changes.
