Re: Converting *.ly files: Version 1.5.63 to Version 2.6.5

[Mats Bengtsson]

The short answer is - Start a command prompt
- Change directory to the folder where you have the files
- Run the command
convert-ly -e myfile.ly

The long answer is that convert-ly probably won't be able to handle
all the necessary conversions, at least if the scores use some more 
advanced features. This means that you have to do some manual
modifications. The most difficult of doing that is mostly to try to 
figure out what the intention of the original code was.
