Updating a score from version 1.4

2014-07-17 Thread Larry Kent
This issue comes up from time to time for me, and I hope someone can help. Occasionally I need to make minor revisions to a score that was engraved with LilyPond version 1.4.12. That version was long before I started trying to use the program, so I don't have that version. Anyway, every time I

Greetings Larry, Are you familiar with the convert-ly command? From the terminal, you should be able to type convert-ly -e FILENAME, substituting the last portion with the name of your file. Then your code should be updated to the version which you are currently using. I hope this helps.

Thanks, James, David, and Hwaen. Convert-ly doesn't handle version 1.4 very well, not surprising. The current project I'm working on is a very short piece, so I may just start over with this one. Long-term, however, it would be nice to find somewhere that a user can grab an old version, install

Thanks for the suggestion. I can't find version 2.8 to download either, but that's quite a ways from 1.4, so I'm not sure if it would work. I think I'll let this thread hang out there for another day or so, and then start from scratch. Thanks again! Best, LK On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 1:38

I'm thinking this implies that convert-ly is best used incrementally by LP version, with no intermediate upgrading omitted. So, with original code at Ver 'A' and my destination Ver 'E', then for best results I'd install Versions B, C, D and run all four convert-ly's (A-B; B-C; C-D; D-E)? Is

I have used Lilypond on windows. The trick is to run in within a Unix shell, like https://www.cygwin.com/ If I am not mistaken, there is a lilypond package within the cygwin distribution you can choose when installing. I have no experience with running convert-ly, or in particular these ancient

David Harm, Thank you! I let my unresolved fuzziness on this issue (and a memory of messy cumulative system upgrades) keep me from attempting a 'convert-ly' _EVER_. Now I stand -- well, sit -- corrected, and am ready to at least _try_. Pete David Kastrup wrote:
