This weekend, I spent some more time on convert-ly and have now submitted another patch to the CVS server that does a somewhat more clever conversion for scores older then version 1.9.0.
More exactly:
- Most text markups should now be converted correctly and those that are not converted correctly should at least not provide syntactically incorrect code. - When converting beams and slurs to the new postfix syntax, all Scheme expressions and strings are left untouched. This used to be one of the major problems.
Problems that remain in the conversion 1.6->2.0:
- Doesn't always convert figured bass correctly, specifically things
like {< >}.
- In the old markup syntax, it was possible to group a number of
markup commands together within parentheses, e.g.
-#'((bold italic) "string")
This will incorrectly be converted into
-\markup{{\bold italic} "string"}
instead of the correct
-\markup{\bold \italic "string"}/Mats

A few days ago, I made a modification of convert-ly for the latest 2.5.xx version to try to overcome one of the major problems when converting from scores made before 1.9.0, namely that the old markup syntax was only converted in the most simple special cases and that some of the parentheses of the old markup syntax were handled as if they were slur indications and moved to after the next note.

Graham -
That's good!
Now, how to get it populated and linked from the documentation page?

Another option might be to provide a convenient compendium of shortcomings somewhere. Let users discover them, but scattered in the archives isn't very convenient.
See the 2.5 manual, "updating with convert-ly".
