First of all, download and install the latest stable version (2.8.3-1),
where
convert-ly seems to work without having to install extra programs.
Then, to update a file:
1. Start a command prompt (Start menu -> Programs -> Accessories ->
Command Prompt)
2. Change working directory to the folder where you have your .ly file.
For example, if you have it stored in a folder Lily in My Documents, run
the
command:
cd "My Documents\Lily"
(notice that you can save typing, using the tab key. Type in
cd My
and press the Tab key, then add
\L
and press Tab again.)
3. Run the command itself. For example, if your file is called myfile.ly,
run
convert-ly -e myfile.ly
This will update the syntax of the file. A copy of the original will be
saved
with the name myfile.ly~
