\figures has been renamed to \figuremode. The change of chord syntax
(during 1.8 and 2.0) cause convert-ly to do the Wrong Thing;

  \figures { <6 4> }

should be

  \figuresmode { <6 4> }

and not

  \figuresmode { <<6 4>> }

I can't recall any further changes to the syntax, which raises the
question with me how much effort you have put into reading the NEWS
file.
