Re: 2.4.2: Conversion issue, and Midi output truncated

[Mats Bengtsson]

Why not take the slur-attachment-override.ly from the Tips and Tricks
document of version 2.2 (attached)?
This property doesn't exist in version 2.4 and there is no replacement
either as far as I know. However, the question is if convert-ly should
warn about every single property that has been removed or changed in a
way so that automatic conversion is impossible. I'm afraid that this
example is just one of many such properties.
