convert-ly

[Aaron]

Hi all,

I have been wrestling with convert-ly and it seems to have beaten me.


I read the manual on convert-ly and this is what I got.

convert-ly -e --to=1.3.150 `find . -name '*.ly' -print`

I did
convert-ly -e --to=2.2.6 `find . -name '*.ly' -print`
this produced a blank file with the *.ly.NEW extension

I tried 

convert-ly   withwords.ly --output=tremlis.ly
I again got a blank file with the extension .ly.NEW

I did convert-ly -s

I got the following so I see convert-ly knows what to do.:
