Worked perfectly, Michael! Thanks so much for your help.

I was successful. Then I tried running convert-ly for all my .ly
files, using
find . -name '*.ly' -exec convert-ly -e '{}' \;
on the command line. That was unsuccessful.
In fact, speaking of 'installation' for this is a bit of a misnomer.
It's just unpacking the archive and running the binaries from there.
This is totally different from the 2.22 installation method, with the
.sh file that created commands available globally. Now, the 'installation'
process doesn't do anything at all to the system. If you want to
run convert-ly from the 2.24 binaries, run it with its full path,
as Michael suggested. Alternatively, Frescobaldi has a nice tool
for that, in Tools > Update with convert-ly.
You *can* also make 'convert-ly' available globally, by making a symlink
to its executable in a directory that is on your $PATH, typically ~/bin.
If you do that, you will be able to run convert-ly with 'convert-ly' in
a shell instead of '/path/to/lilypond-2.24.0/bin/convert-ly'.
Some have complained that this became less easy to do with the new
installation method. I personally view it as a big advantage, because
several installations never interfere, it's always clear what version
you are running, and it makes it clear in the head of the user that
there is no problem with having several versions of LilyPond 'installed'
(in fact just present on the computer!) in parallel.
I also tried
convert-ly -e $(find . -name '*.ly' -print)
but both of those commands were unsuccessful. In both cases, I got the
message
6: exec: /home/rpalmer/lilypond/usr/bin/python3: not found
even though Python 3.10 is in the LilyPond directory. Ah, but I don't
see my usr/bin directory. I'm still confused.
This one means you have an install of an older version around, and
it's broken somehow. Well, don't care; use the new one anyway.
Best,
Jean

Re: Difficulty running convert-ly under Linux/Ubuntu
I'm also on Ubuntu here (well, to be a bit more precise I'm using the
KUbuntu distro, but should be close enough). I tried your command and had
it fail. But, when I altered it just a bit it worked. All I had to do was
specify the full path to the convert.ly file, like this:
find . -name '*.ly' -exec
/home/michael/lilypond/lilypond-2.24.0/bin/convert-ly -e '{}' \;
Maybe give that a shot and see what happens.

Difficulty running convert-ly under Linux/Ubuntu
Greetings -
Jean Abou Samra kindly pointed me in the right direction for the
installation of 2.24.0 in Linux with Frescobaldi.
I was successful. Then I tried running convert-ly for all my .ly files,
using
find . -name '*.ly' -exec convert-ly -e '{}' \;
on the command line. That was unsuccessful.
I also tried
convert-ly -e $(find . -name '*.ly' -print)
but both of those commands were unsuccessful. In both cases, I got the
message
6: exec: /home/rpalmer/lilypond/usr/bin/python3: not found
even though Python 3.10 is in the LilyPond directory. Ah, but I don't see
my usr/bin directory. I'm still confused.
Any suggestions?
All the best,
Ralph
