There is a wiki article, Updating LilyPond files for Mutopia<https://github.com/chrissawer/The-Mutopia-Project/wiki/Updating-Lilypond-files-for-the-Mutopia-Project>. This is an evolving document and experienced contributors are invited to make edits, especially to the last section, 'Random Hints and Tips'.
These phased updates are targeting the very oldest and, consequently, the more difficult pieces to convert. You might want to start with a piece written for your instrument that is not quite so old before jumping in. Obviously, you don't have to wait for these phased updates. I welcome you to accept the challenge and engage users on mutopia-discuss if you get stuck. -glen On Tue, Feb 18, 2014 at 3:07 AM, Philip Rhoades <p...@pricom.com.au> wrote: > Glen, > > > On 2014-02-18 18:16, Glen Larsen wrote: > > I have begun another set of updates --- 15 files --- for the Mutopia > > Project and volunteers are welcome.
