Forgot to mention that you could use the to-version-option of any convert-ly convert-ly -e -t2.14.2 will convert to "2.14.2" In general, I found converting-rules in convertrules.py since version "0.1.9" But every now and then there will be some stuff convert-ly is not able to handle. So I would use the _newest_ convert-ly and update very carefully from one version to the next with the to-version-option fixing manually all issues convert-ly "is not smart enough" to do. But I never tried to update such an old file, I wish Good Luck. -Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
