In 2.15 I had footnotes set out like so:

\version "2.15.35"

\relative c'' {
c4 c-\footnote #'(0.7 . 2) #'NoteHead \markup\teeny { Automatic
footnote }
c c-\footnote "a)" #'(0.7 . 2) #'NoteHead \markup\teeny { \concat {
\lower #0.8 \super { a) } "Manual footnote" } }
}

With 2.15.35 this builds without error and gives correct output.
Running 2.17.7 convert-ly against it changes the source to that below,
without any warning messages on the console, but trying to build the
file gives a couple of error message on the console: "programming
error: Not a music type", and the footnotes are missing from the
output.

\version "2.17.6"

\relative c'' {
c4 c-\footnote #'(0.7 . 2) \markup\teeny { Automatic footnote }
NoteHead
c c-\footnote "a)" #'(0.7 . 2) \markup\teeny { \concat { \lower #0.8
\super { a) } "Manual footnote" } } NoteHead
}
Footnotes don't work as articulation, and moving them in front of the
footnoted material is too hard to do automatically.  You need to change
this manually to

\footnote ... c

The order of the \footnote arguments, however, should be juggled around
correctly by convert-ly.

Yes, I changed the source to get the file to build correctly. I was just pointing out that convert-ly should spit out a message to the effect that a manual change is needed, as it does for other changes that aren't handled automatically.
