Réf. : Re: convert-ly with lily2.4.2

[Jean-marc LEGRAND]

Thanks for your answer.

Maybe 2 suggestions :

first, there's a little mistake in doc 2.5 :
"It uses \version statements in the input files to detect the old version 
number. In most cases, to
upgrade your input file it is sufficient to run
covert-ly -e myfile.ly" .

secondly, it should be written, to my mind, that convert-ly *.ly converts all 
the files of the
current folder.

Regards

You should definitely not remove any .ly~ file until you have made sure
that the updated file gives the expected results, since the .ly~
contains a copy of your original file (before the conversion) and since
convert-ly is not always fool-proof.

It seems that the formulation in the manual has already been changed in
the version for LilyPond 2.5. Take a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-convert_002dly.html
and send a comment to the mailing list if you have suggestions for
further clarifications.
