Comment #45 on issue 3229 by [email protected]: Use \relative without explicit
starting pitch in the docs
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3229
The end result of this issue is dissatisfactory. A huge number of snippets
has not been converted since that would have entailed moving all of them to
Documentation/snippets/new, blocking further imports from the snippets
database. The main reason for that is that the conversion rule has been
reverted after applying it, so it cannot get applied to further reimports
which would overwrite the converted issues.
However, leaving the conversion rule in place would also affect
user-written scores invasively, when converting across the specific
affected range. So we have the situation that we want to really have a
rule that is _not_ applied by default to user scores, but more likely than
not _is_ applied to our snippets when importing.
In addition, it would be nice to offer users the option to apply the rule
to scores of their own if they opt to do so. In short, we need optional
conversion rules. And it might be a nice idea to also make it possible to
invoke them by _name_ rather than when crossing a particular version
number, so that one can apply option conversion rules individually even in
case one has already converted to a later number.
At the current point of time, we have no place for such optional rules and
that means they are totally unavailable except as commits in the repository.
