Hello,
I recently updated to Lilypond 2.24.1 and tried to automatically convert
a file from version 2.22.2. I tried the following:
* Opened a file in Frescobaldi, chose „update with convert-ly". The
version numbers are found, but the OK button is greyed out and won’t
do anything.
* So I tried „save as file“. This created an empty .txt file, but no
.ly file (at least not in the original directory) nor did it change
the original .ly file.
* I opend the power shell (I’m on Win 10) from the folder where my .ly
files are, typed /convert-ly -e *.ly/ (I tried as well with a
specific file name) and hit enter. I got the message (in German,
I’ll roughly translate it):Fehler beim Ausführen des Programms
"convert-ly.py": Program not foundIn line:1 char:2
+ convert-ly -e *.ly
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
In line:1 char:2
+ convert-ly -e *.ly
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [],
ApplicationFailedException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandFailed
* I copied convert-ly.py into the folder where the .ly files are
located and tried again. Same result.
* I added my lilypond folder to the path variables. Still same result.
* I tried different locations to extract the .zip file: First, I
extracted it to Program Files (x86)\Lilypond. Then I tried Users\[my
account]\AppData\Local. Last I tried directly C:\. Same result.
I uninstalled the previous lilypond copy. Maybe that was my mistake?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Immanuel
