But not where \oldaddlyrics was used, surely?
The manual conversion I've been doing when convert-ly insists on using
the broken \oldaddlyrics (which is clearly a bug, since Hanwenn states
that it won't be fixed) is:
<<
\oldaddlyrics
\context Staff="default"
{
\voicedefault
}
\context Lyrics="default"
<<
{ \wordsdefaultVA }

to:
<<
\context Staff="default"
{
\voicedefault
}
\addlyrics { \wordsdefaultVA }

This is pretty straightforward, and could be scripted for the
real-world case, although maybe not by convert-ly for the completely
general case. Is there some reason why this isn't as good as the
equivalent \lyricsto solution?
