What happens when you enter this part?:

$ find . -name '*.ly' -print

If you do get a listing, try a newer syntax:

$ convert-ly -e $(find . -name '*.ly' -print)

If you don't get a listing, look up your "find" command to see what
you need to do to get one. Are you using bash?  The DOS "find" command
is very different from the bash version.

I am assuming that you have command substitution on XP.  The `` or $()
makes the output of the find command inside look like a list of files
to convert-ly.  daveA
