Hi all,
I have a number of pieces I entered quite a while ago (2.5.x, etc) in
absolute pitch -- being the easiest for me at the time.
But now I'd like to update them (2.15.x), and while convert-ly does a
good job of changing up the basic syntax, I'd like to know if there's
an easy way of getting rid of all the ' and , so the piece can be done
in \relative mode. I did "search and replace" on one long piece,
which resulted in well over an hour's work fixing octaves. Can this
be automated?
This appears on the feature list of the LilyPond editor Frescobaldi
<URL:http://frescobaldi.org>.
A solution within LilyPond itself would not really help as it would not
preserve the spacing of your input source.
In Linux at least, you could make the changes *and* preserve
your layout, by calling 'sed' against the .ly file to replace each
" ' " and " , " with a space. something like
cat <file>.ly | sed "s/[',]/ /g" > FOO
(That's a guess. Do check out FOO before copying it back in.)
