For https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6024, I've been looking at python/convertrules.py and wonder if we really need all ancient rules starting from version 0.1.9. Right now, a majority of these won't even apply because Python 3 is much pickier about bad escape codes in the regular expressions. Example: re.sub('\\musicalpitch', '\\pitch', s) is wrong because \\ only escapes for the string and neither \m nor \p are correct escapes in a regular expression. For this case, it's easy to fix with raw strings and I think I was able to resolve most errors so that all rules are able to run, but I've no way to guarantee that my edits are correct.
To make the story short: Can we maybe instead drop any rules older than 2.12.0? Its last minor release 2.12.3 is more than 10 years ago. Jonas
