This is a misunderstanding. convert-ly from lilypond-2.19.52 _does_ update to 2.19.52. Or more precisely: all syntax-changes for which a convert-rule exist are applied up to 2.19.52. It does not change the version-statement of your file to the lilypond-version of convert-ly you actually use, but to the version of the latest convert-rule. In general, convert-ly converts syntax of ly-files to be compilable with the LilyPond-version matching the version of convert-ly. There is no need to change the version-statement to make it compile with 2.19.52 at all. You could even compile a very old 2.12.3-file with 2.19.52 (granted the syntax of the old file will work). The reason to change the version-statement to the version of the latest convert-rule is more to issue an error, if a converted file is compiled with an older ly-version, like: error: program too old: 2.16.2 (file requires: 2.19.52) Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
