Re: \tempo and Span_dynamic_performer errors in 2.10.20 on WinXP

[Mats Bengtsson]

You apparently have a file written for an older version of LilyPond
and haven't updated the file syntax to correspond to your current version.
Hopefully, the original author of the file (you?) has remembered to include
a \version ... command in the file. In that case, it's just to run 
convert-ly on the
file to update the syntax, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-01/msg00038.html
for detailed instructions for Windows.

If there isn't any \version statement in the file, you have to figure out
which version the file was written for. Let's say that it was written for
version 2.4. In that case, just specify this information in an additional
flag to the convert-ly command:
convert-ly --from="2.4.0" -e myfile.ly
