I don't understand.  You make it sound like you made some editing
changes to a 5000-line project that caused an error message and want to
get a fix without actually saying what you did or what the lines look
like.

While I am used to people expecting magic from the likes of me, the
magic more likely lies in the correct interpretation of your mailings.
Or in making you understand my mailings.

Lilypond has changed in _incompatible_ ways in the last months.
Documents that used to work under it will _stop_ working without getting
changed appropriately.  convert-ly is a tool for converting documents
that _used_ to work under previous versions into documents that work
_again_ after conversion under newer versions.

So did you, or did you _not_ run convert-ly on that file?  If you say
that you have written a 5000 file document from scratch in the last
couple of weeks that I changed Lilypond's syntax, I'll be suitably
impressed.
