Re: [Mutopia-discuss] Call for volunteers: phase II updates
Javier has pointed out that each issue in this milestone requests that the piece be updated to 2.18 and that this might discourage some volunteers. Please note that you are free to use any relatively current stable version for these updates. Believe me, we would be ecstatic to get a piece converted from 2.0 to 2.14!

I am probably not competent to be of much use (since I have only used Lilypond to the extent that it has allowed me to get to a level to do what I want now and further experience will probably be very slow) but it is worth knowing more . .

Re: [Mutopia-discuss] Call for volunteers: phase II updates
There is a wiki article, Updating LilyPond files for Mutopiahttps://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.
