Hi,

In Contributor Guide 7.7 Updating LSR to a new version, below the paragraph:
"

1.Download the latest snippet tarball, extract it, and run convert-ly
on all files using the command-line option ‘--to=version’ to ensure
snippets are updated to the correct stable version.
"


please add:



----
Make sure you use convert-ly from the latest available release to gain
all advantages from the latest converting-rules-updates.

          Example:LSR-version: 2.12.2
                        intended LSR-update to 2.14.2
                        latest release 2.15.30

               Use convert-ly from 2.15.30 and the following terminal
command for all files:
               convert-ly -e -t2.14.2 *.ly
