Thanks for your answer. Maybe 2 suggestions : first, there's a little mistake in doc 2.5 : "It uses \version statements in the input files to detect the old version number. In most cases, to upgrade your input file it is sufficient to run covert-ly -e myfile.ly" . secondly, it should be written, to my mind, that convert-ly *.ly converts all the files of the current folder.

It seems that the formulation in the manual has already been changed in the version for LilyPond 2.5. Take a look at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-convert_002dly.html and send a comment to the mailing list if you have suggestions for further clarifications. /Mats Jean-marc LEGRAND wrote: > > > > Hi again. > > I've tried convert-ly *.ly in my folder, and it has converted all my .ly. > > Great, but it is not what is writen in lily manual, or am I wrong ? > ----- Réacheminé par Jean-marc LEGRAND/CRS/FR/RM/Corp le 03/02/2005 13:34 > ----- > > Jean-marc LEGRAND > Pour : lilypond-user@gnu.org > 03/02/2005 13:09 cc : > Objet : convert-ly with > lily2.4.2 > > > > > Hi list ! > > I've just moved to 2.4.2 on XP, and I'm converting all my files. > > I've got 2 pb : > > 1. convert-ly -e `find . -name '*.ly' -print` doesn't work, and no error > message. > > 2. when I make convert-ly -e fichier.ly, I have à fichier.ly updated but a > new fichier.ly~ which I > have to erase manually. > > Any help ? > > Regards > > > > > _______________________________________________ > lilypond-user mailing list > lilypond-user@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user -- ============================================= Mats Bengtsson Signal Processing Signals, Sensors and Systems Royal Institute of Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Sweden Phone: (+46) 8 790 8463 Fax: (+46) 8 790 7260 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.s3.kth.se/~mabe ============================================= _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
