It seems that the situations where convert-ly fails on your input
files is
- Where you put the slur end on another line than the following note:
ef4.( )
f!8
If instead you had written
ef4.(
) f!8
convert-ly would correctly have produced
ef4.(
f!8 )
As you can see, slur endings as well as all other kind of
annotations are now put after the note they refer to.
- Where you use the old text markup commands, like
^#'(columns((music "scripts-trill"))) or
^#'(columns((music "accidentals--1")))
(by the way, I don't understand why you used columns here)
You can read more about the new markup commands at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Text-markup.html
The two examples above can be replaced by
^\markup{ \musicglyph scripts-trill }
and
^\markup{ \flat }
respectively.

Hi --
I did a bit of work with lilypond 1.6.6 14 months ago and have an
unfinished composition typeset in it that I'd like to go back to. But
I no longer have lilypond 1.6.6 installed, and it doesn't build on my
Gentoo Linux system (alas, C++ compiler problems); and lilypond 2.2.4,
even when I run "convert-ly -f 1.6.6 -e " on my .ly files, fails on
them with numerous syntax errors.
The syntax seems to have changed a great deal in a single year, which
is no doubt is great for the project's future, but is rough on
occasional users like me. There isn't much documentation on how to
upgrade input files, either (but I'm not complaining -- I appreciate
all the energy that is going into the project). The result is that
I'm a bit lost, and I'd be very grateful for any pointers on what
particular kinds of changes I should be looking for.
The input files in question (in their 1.6.6 version) are viewable
here:
http://cvs.smullyan.org/viewcvs.cgi/trio/
They are quite short.
Thanks much,
Jacob Smullyan
