Re: Lilypond won't float

[Hans Forbrich]

Change the statement to 2.2.0 ... convert-ly will then attempt to convert FROM 
2.2.0 up to the current 2.3.19.  

The version statement should represent the version of lilypond that compiles 
correctly.  This is then used by convert-ly as the starting point from which  
to do the conversion.

Also - please keep responses ON the list - if you are having problems, oythers 
will as well & then they can look through the archives to get help.
