Is there a syntax for running convert-ly on a directory without having

convert-ly -e *.ly
There doesn’t seem to be a recursive option. Since I’ve got .ly files
in 158 different directories it’d be really nice to be able to batch
update them with something like:
convert-ly -e -r *.ly
instead of having to cd in to 158 directories by hand. Maybe there is
good reason for convert-ly not having this capability.
find -name "*.ly" -exec convert-ly -e {} \;
is how one would likely do it under POSIXy systems.
Thanks, although when I run this I get:
find: illegal option -- n
usage: find [-H | -L | -P] [-EXdsx] [-f path] path ... [expression]
find [-H | -L | -P] [-EXdsx] -f path [path ...] [expression]
This is on a Mac using bash as the shell.
Have you already tried the simpler version I posted yesterday? I wrote
something like “for Linux” but if you have a bash on a Mac (I didn’t
know there was something like that ;)) it should work for you, too.
