Re: converting Egmont Overture files - help!

[Mats Bengtsson]

You didn't say where you found the files, but I assume you found them at
www.mutopiaproject.org. I made a quick test to download the files,
update the syntax and process the score and it seems to work fairly well.
There are some warnings that indicate that the files used some features
are no longer available (and probably no longer needed as well, due to
improvements and bug fixes), so I see no need to dig for old LilyPond
versions. On the other hand, you will still need to write your own .ly
code to get each separate part, which is very simple if you just have
some experience with LilyPond.
