We don't have a "bug submission page": users are advised to mail problem
reports to this bug list. I have no idea what page you used.

That's because the long note names have been changed. If you had used
convert-ly for converting the syntax, you'd hopefully not have seen a
problem ("hopefully" since the conversion rule currently is less than
perfect and will likely be improved in 2.19.21, probably including the
results of issue 4372
<URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4372>.
LilyPond's Changes section
<URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/changes/index#top>
states:
Actually, it does not state anything at all. Uh, that would likely be
worth a few words. The issue introducing this change had been
issue 4209
<URL:https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4209> and the
changes had been present since version 2.19.16.
The respective discussion (namely none at all) is evenly distributed
between the issue report itself and the code review at
<URL:https://codereview.appspot.com/180440043>.
There might have been some ongoing discussion on the developer list
before that, so you might want to look in the Nov/Dec 2014 time frame in
the archives.
