    Thanks for the listing argument to convert-ly, Graham.  I 
recognized the list, as I had previously used jEdit to read through both 
the convert-ly and convertrules files several times, and not 
finding/recognizing any reference to the articulation pairs I mentioned 
in my query I naturally came to the conclusion that the list of changes 
in those files isn't all-inclusive.  Hence my query -- what I'm looking 
for would be a more inclusive list of obsolete LY commands.

    Then additionally, by doing split-screen A- B comparisons  between 
original and converted files (to v2.14.1)  I saw where and how v2.4.1 
compatibility changes were made.  In so doing  it  obvious that there 
has to be a support file (or files) which hold the .ly code (and 
remarks, when used) for every one of the automatic edits/changes made by 
convert-ly during the file conversion process, i.e. procedures file(s).  
I'd like to find and look through those files.

    Thanks again for your helpful answer, and best regards,
