More bugs with convert-ly and postfix syntax

[Larry Gilbert]

I see that a bug I noticed in

convert-ly has been fixed in CVS.  I have some more related bugs to
report.  These are all examples from conversion of a 1.6.6 file.

First:

When there is a closing slur mark attached to a chord and a rest follows
the chord, conversion can incorrectly move the closing slur mark over to
the rest.

---[1.6.6 syntax sample]-----------------------------------------------
        <)des4. f des'> r8 \bar ":|"
        [ <des8 f aes> r <des ges bes> ] r |
---[Converted sample]--------------------------------------------------
        <des f des'>4. r8) \bar ":|"
        <des f aes>8[ r <des ges bes> ] r |
---[End samples]-------------------------------------------------------


Second:

Closing phrasing-slur marks ("\)") get broken up after conversion:

---[1.6.6 syntax sample]-----------------------------------------------
        <des'4. des'> <beses8 beses'(> | <)aes4 aes'> aes' \( ( |
        )aes16. ges32 f16. ees32 \) des8 r |
---[Converted sample]--------------------------------------------------
        <des' des'>4. <beses beses'>8( | <aes aes'>4 aes') \( ( |
         aes16.) ges32 f16. ees32 \ des8) r |
---[End samples]-------------------------------------------------------


Third:

Sometimes, when opening and closing slur marks are used in the middle of a
chord as the only delineation between two notes, the converter correctly
moves the slur mark but neglects to leave a space between the notes.

---[1.6.6 syntax sample]-----------------------------------------------
        r8 <ges,,4 ges'> \clef "violin" <c'''8(ees> ~ |
        [ <c16 ees> <des)f> ]
---[Converted sample]--------------------------------------------------
        r8 <ges,, ges'>4 \clef "violin" <c'''ees>8( ~ |
        <c ees>16[ <desf>) ]
---[End samples]-------------------------------------------------------


Fourth:

The converter does not account for string literals, and happily converts
anything that looks like note data in need of postfix conversion.

---[1.6.6 syntax sample]-----------------------------------------------

I hope this information is helpful.  Please let me know if I can be of
further help.  I think LilyPond is great!
