At the top of *every* documentation page, of *every* snippet on the LSR
and of *every* .ly file.  :-D

Joke aside, I am not an inexperienced user and I still do not have the
"reflex" to use convert-ly each time I want to use some code written
for an older version.  I usually simply "update" the outdated code
I recognize *manually*.

Maybe it would be great if LilyPond automagically detects it when we try
to compile some code written for an older version (thanks to a
comparison of the  \version  of the file and the version of LilyPond
trying to compile this file) and then instead of simply running LilyPond
on the file, Lily would decide for itself to run convert-ly before
trying to compile the file.

But I won't whine about that.

Cheers,
Xavier
