maybe just adding an example with recommended parameters would help make
convert-ly more popular?
convert-ly -ec myFile.ly updates myFile.ly to the current version and
makes a simple backup in the file myFile.ly~
or
convert-ly -ecb myFile.ly updates myFile.ly to the current version and
makes a numbered backup myFile.ly~number~
btw - why is -c - now the default - not mentioned in the doc? it is when the
help text is displayed:
-c, --current-version
force updating \version number to 2.17.29
shall I rise a documentation request for these two little items?
