You've redirected stdout, but the convert-ly messages are probably
going to stderr.  In a typical unix shell, I'd do &> logfile.txt
instead of what you wrote, but I don't know what to do on DOS.

See

This is a concise example of the commands in dos that I think you need,.

Good evening and thank you  both.   James, the link you gave me did the trick, i.e. convert-ly -e carcassi.ly > logfile.txt 2<&1 created a conversion list logfile of 71 iterations, from  v2.5.0 through v2.14.1.  I gave my collection of  DOS and Unix reference  manuals and crib notes to my collegues at work when I retired ... "Nevermore!" I gleefully said to them back then.  Oh yeah ... !

 I'm volunteering to help out reviving the Mutopia Project, and do appreciate your help here.

Best regards,
Ken
