Re: Problem with header/copyright in new 2.12 version

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you have a \version statement in your file, the following command 
should do:
convert-ly -e template.ly
just as is explained in 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Updating-files-with-convert_002dly#Updating-files-with-convert_002dly


Otherwise, use
convert-ly -e --from=2.10.25 template.ly
