It should certainly help to automatically convert

\set Voice.noAutoBeaming = ##t
into
\set autoBeaming = ##f
and
\set Staff.instrument = #"Guitar 1"
into
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Guitar 1"

Note that the Voice.noAutoBeaming property was renamed
in LilyPond already in LilyPond version 1.5.49, but maybe
the implementors of Noteedit didn't notice this change so
that they used the old syntax even if it says \version "2.8.1"
in the generated .ly file. In that case, you can try to manually
say
convert-ly --from="1.5.48"
but then you should verify that the conversion steps between
1.5.48 and 2.8.1 does not destroy anything else.
