Right now I'm updating chapter 2 of the Usage manual (handling
`convert-ly`). In section 2.4 I find the following.
When running `convert-ly` in a command prompt window under Windows
on a file that has spaces in the filename or in the path to it, it
is necessary to surround the entire input file name with three(!)
sets of double quotes:
convert-ly """D:/My Scores/Ode.ly""" > "D:/My Scores/new Ode.ly"
Two questions.
* I suppose this should rather be `convert-ly.py`, following section
2.2, right?
* Is using three sets of double quotes really correct? If yes, does
this only hold for `convert-ly.py`? The `forfiles` command
described in section 2.2 only uses one set of double quotes for file
names with spaces...
