Hi guys. Back from under my stone, I revved up LSR to work with 2.8. So I decided to rev up also my scores.
It's being very, very difficult. I have insisted in the past and will insist again on this--if Lilypond continues to be such a moving target, it will never be a format of choice for storing music. I have just a few dozen files and I'm already paralyzed--essentially none of them compiles after convert-ly (you can get them at vigna.dsi.unimi.it/music.php). The few scores that compile have bugs in the output. A quick tour of the problems, hoping someone can help. BTW, is there an official guide about the conversion (don't tell me to do convert-ly -s, please :). 1) All my piano scores produce mighty complaints after conversion: K517-2.ly:14:7: error: syntax error, unexpected \header \header { K517-2.ly:17:8: error: syntax error, unexpected \context \context PianoStaff << K517-2.ly:47:14: error: syntax error, unexpected '}' } K517-2.ly:74:11: error: syntax error, unexpected '}' } K517-2.ly:126:8: error: syntax error, unexpected >> >> K517-2.ly:132:0: error: syntax error, unexpected '}' } 2) convert-ly has a mistaken way of detecting features--I have a score with a *commented* line as follows: % #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 1 2 'Staff) convert-ly complains as follows: Not smart enough to convert auto beam settings Auto beam settings must now specify each interesting moment in a measure explicitely; 1/4 is no longer multiplied to cover moments 1/2 and 3/4 too. Please refer to the manual for details, and update manually. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/convert-ly", line 300, in ? main () File "/usr/bin/convert-ly", line 294, in main do_one_file (f) File "/usr/bin/convert-ly", line 227, in do_one_file (last, result) = do_conversion (infile.read (), from_version, to_version) File "/usr/bin/convert-ly", line 172, in do_conversion str = x[1] (str) File "/usr/share/lilypond/2.8.4/python/convertrules.py", line 2477, in conv raise FatalConversionError () convertrules.FatalConversionError: <convertrules.FatalConversionError instance at 0xb7d3298c> 3) My score for "Like Spinning Plates" has a different lyrics placement with 2.8, and extraneous symbols overlapping the main division bars. I guess it is because I have 5 Lyrics contexts, but it used to work. 4) Previously working tempo indications are not converted and do not work any longer: p-gruppi-2.ly:45:16: error: unknown escaped string: `\tempo4' \midi { \tempo4=160 } I guess this is just a start. If anybody can put me on the right track I will try to fix all files and report more.
