Re: 64-bit Mac build of 2.20 is now available!

 Hello, convert.ly is not working as you described. Here are some code excerpts.
Let me know if there is anything else I can send that would be helpful.

>From a file previously created with Frescobaldi 2.20 & Lilypond 2.18:

\version "2.18.0"
\include "english.ly"
\include "Three White Gulls (Melody).ly"
\include "Three White Gulls (Verses).ly"
\include "Three White Gulls (Chords).ly"
\paper {
 #(set-paper-size "letter")
 system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #15 
 markup-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #24
 top-margin = 5\mm
 bottom-margin = 5\mm
 

>From the convert.ly log:

(No other changes were made) 
This is from the Lilypond Log after compiling the above code with 2.20:

 A Big Thank You to Marnen Laibow-Koser —  Mac OS 64 bit Lilypond 2.20 
downloaded, installed and is running! This is a huge relief since my skill 
level is basically; download file and drag to application folder.

The only thing not running quite as expected is convert.ly updating. It isn't 
flagging the syntax differences. It does execute without error messages and it 
changes the version number.


I thought that if it was run from the LilyPad app bundle, it would just 
silently update the whole file (I don't like that behavior, but it seemed to be 
design in LilyPad).  I'll admit that I haven't tested it thoroughly, though; if 
you run it from within Frescobaldi, you at least see the diff.  Is it missing 
syntax differences?  If so, I'd appreciate a sample file that it's not behaving 
properly on.

Not a huge problem, since any instances of the old syntax (2.18.2) get 
highlighted during the compile anyway. 

If convert-ly is working properly, there shouldn't *be* any of the old syntax 
left.  If there are, that *is* a huge problem and means that the version I 
packaged is broken.  Is that the case?
