If you enter the name into Run the name of the program is
"convert-ly.py".
Are you missing the ".py"?
But both convert-ly and convert-ly.py should work in a Command
Prompt
window. At least they do here (Windows Vista). This is better than
Run
as the window stays open so you can read the output.
Is the convert program being found correctly? If you open a Command
Prompt window and type just "convert-ly" you should see a few lines
returned giving the usage and options.
If that works ok try again specifying the file and options as
before. If
the path to the file contains spaces you'll need to surround the
full path
with double quotes. If your file contains the correct \version you
don't
need to specify any options at all.

Subject: Re: Header title problem or convert-ly problem
A: I have tried over and over to follow the docs. AND I have copy
and pasted both Mats suggestions and now Simon's .
Mats has never worked. Yes the version info is in the file. No
it did not work.
Simon's suggestion, I renamed the file without the space and in
fact after that copy/pasted his version into run and it can't find
convert-ly so I browsed to my applications file (on my desktop
which is where I install lily from) and convert-ly flashes and
there is no new version or file that I can find anywhere and the
problem continues to exist.
So I need more hints as either
1] how to change the header so it works the way it did in 2.10
or
2] how to get convert-ly to work on my machine.
Thanks
Jay

Unfortunately, I have never been able to get convert-ly to work.
It's
mostly my computer ignorance. My files don't seem to be in
simple places
and I never get the parameters correct.
so I have the file in C:\Documents and
Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton
it's called
my template.ly
it's version 2.10.25
I just tried to follow the instructions from the docs here's what
I think
it says to do in run under xp
convert-ly --from C:\Documents and
Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\
mytemplate.ly\version 2.10.25 --to C:\Documents and
Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\my template.ly version 2.12.2
That didn't work so what am I not understanding?
As you seem to have spaces in directory and/or filenames the
arguments need
to be quoted. Maybe that is your issue?
e.g. convert-ly -e "C:\Documents and
Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\
mytemplate.ly"
Sorry for total ignorance.

The standard solution to all such compatibility problems is to
run the
file through convert-ly, to automatically update the syntax.
(Just remember to specify \version "2.10.0" or something like
that in the
file header, so that convert-ly knows what to do.)
