convert-ly always converts up to the last syntax change handled by
it. This means that the \version
number left in the file is
usually lower than the version of convert-ly itself.
To upgrade LilyPond fragments in texinfo files, use
convert-ly --from=... --to=... --no-version *.itely
To see the changes in the LilyPond syntax between two versions, use
convert-ly --from=... --to=... -s
To upgrade many files at once, combine convert-ly
with
standard UNIX commands. This example will upgrade all .ly
files in the current directory
for f in *.ly; do convert-ly -e $f; done;
In general, the program is invoked as follows:
convert-ly [option]... file...
The following options can be given:
-e,--edit
--output
.
-f,--from=
from-patchlevel\version
strings in the file.
-n,--no-version
\version
indicator
to the output. Specifying this option suppresses this.
-s, --show-rules
--to=
to-patchlevel-h, --help
