Yes, there is something wrong and the question is what. LydX is supposed to convert old files to the new format. Of course, there can be bugs that prevent this from happening, but those are, well, bugs, and we take them very, very seriously. I.e., we try to fix them as fast as possible. In this case, if there is a bug that is preventing files from being converted to 2.2 format, then we want to know about it NOW and get it solved NOW. So please report all such bugs. They can usually be fixed very fast if we have example files that we can use to investigate them.
