convert-ly contains converting-rules from _all_ versions. Therefore I'd use the _newest_ convert-ly to update an old file. Nevertheless, there are quite often issues like: "not smart enough to ..." But there's the option to convert to a certain lily-version: convert-ly --to=2.14.1 myfile.ly see: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage-big-page#command-line-options-for-convert_002dly Maybe I'd convert carefully from one version to the next and fix all occuring problems manually.
