At the top of *every* documentation page, of *every* snippet on the LSR and of *every* .ly file. :-D Joke aside, I am not an inexperienced user and I still do not have the "reflex" to use convert-ly each time I want to use some code written for an older version. I usually simply "update" the outdated code I recognize *manually*. Maybe it would be great if LilyPond automagically detects it when we try to compile some code written for an older version (thanks to a comparison of the \version of the file and the version of LilyPond trying to compile this file) and then instead of simply running LilyPond on the file, Lily would decide for itself to run convert-ly before trying to compile the file. But I won't whine about that.
