Hey Janek, I'm using the latest stable version (2.14?).
When I first tried to compile the file, I got at least a dozen messages telling me that files were too old (probably because of the structure, with lots of different files containing information, etc.) and I was a little overwhelmed; I can't honestly say whether there was anything there about convert-ly. I just tried converting again and this time I did find a convert-ly message (in Dutch this time, for some reason), but to be honest I'm SO not a programmer, and even if I had seen it the first time I would have had no idea what to do, and would have asked for help anyway. I would have needed a really dumbed-down message, like "This file is too old for your current version of Lilypond; you need to use a feature called 'convert-ly' to update the file first. To find out how to use it, please visit [link or reference to convert-ly manual]. Everything will be OK - trust me." Don't know if this helps, but I don't think there's a bug. It's probably just me being either inattentive or scared of technology.
