Hi,

can't confirm on Ubuntu 10.04 32bit using LilyPond 2.19.11

Storing

%%%%% start snippet
\version "2.18.0"

#(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #t)

    \relative c'' {
            \key c \major \time 4/4
            a b c d |e f g a

    }%end relative
%%%%% end snippet

in test.ly and running
convert-ly -e test.ly
returns

   convert-ly (GNU LilyPond) 2.19.11

   convert-ly: Processing `test.ly'...
   Applying conversion: 2.19.2, 2.19.7, 2.19.11

The version is updated to 2.19.11

---------------------

running
convert-ly -e -t2.18.2 test.ly
returns
   convert-ly (GNU LilyPond) 2.19.11

   convert-ly: Processing `test.ly'...
   Applying conversion:

The version remains 2.18.0

--------------------

Btw, instead of
#(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #t)
you can use
\pointAndClickOn

P.s.
Can't do more, my computer is broken. Right now I'm guest on another machine.
