Re: convert-ly with lily2.4.2

[Mats Bengtsson]

You should definitely not remove any .ly~ file until you have made sure
that the updated file gives the expected results, since the .ly~
contains a copy of your original file (before the conversion) and since
convert-ly is not always fool-proof.

It seems that the formulation in the manual has already been changed in
the version for LilyPond 2.5. Take a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-convert_002dly.html
and send a comment to the mailing list if you have suggestions for
further clarifications.
