Re: convert-ly with lily2.4.2

[Mats Bengtsson]

Don't talk nonsense! convert-ly can only be run from the
cygwin command prompt, not from the DOS command prompt.
Also, as has already been noted in previous emails,
convert-ly -e *.ly
will work just as well as the command including find that
was mentioned in older version of the manual.
