Hello, convert.ly is not working as you described. Here are some code excerpts.
Let me know if there is anything else I can send that would be helpful.
>From a file previously created with Frescobaldi 2.20 & Lilypond 2.18:
\version "2.18.0"
\include "english.ly"
\include "Three White Gulls (Melody).ly"
\include "Three White Gulls (Verses).ly"

downloaded, installed and is running! This is a huge relief since my skill
level is basically; download file and drag to application folder.
The only thing not running quite as expected is convert.ly updating. It isn't
flagging the syntax differences. It does execute without error messages and it
changes the version number.
I thought that if it was run from the LilyPad app bundle, it would just
silently update the whole file (I don't like that behavior, but it seemed to be
design in LilyPad). I'll admit that I haven't tested it thoroughly, though; if
you run it from within Frescobaldi, you at least see the diff. Is it missing
syntax differences? If so, I'd appreciate a sample file that it's not behaving
properly on.
Not a huge problem, since any instances of the old syntax (2.18.2) get
highlighted during the compile anyway.
If convert-ly is working properly, there shouldn't *be* any of the old syntax
left. If there are, that *is* a huge problem and means that the version I
packaged is broken. Is that the case?
