Re: Updating a score from version 1.4

[Hwaen Ch'uqi]

Greetings Larry,
          Are you familiar with the convert-ly command? From the terminal,
you should be able to type convert-ly -e FILENAME, substituting the
last portion with the name of your file. Then your code should be
updated to the version which you are currently using. I hope this
helps.
