If you are on a unix machine (Mac, PC with Ubuntu, etc) you could do that by
issuing the following command in a terminal window:
find . -name \*.ly -print | xargs -n 1 convert-ly -e
There is also a (possibly free) package for use on Windows machines called
Cygwin. It is possible that the above command would work on a Windows machine
with Cygwin in a command window.
