Re: bugs/convert-ly.txt

[Mats Bengtsson]

I think the main problem that convert-ly cannot handle is the old
text markup commands. Since that syntax used parenthesis, convert-ly
will think that the last right parenthesis is a slur end and move it
to after the next note. There are several examples in the mailing list
archives. I think the best way to document these problems is to show
some examples of input, convert-ly output and the correct new syntax.
Since there is no simple one-to-one relationship between the old and
new support for text markup, we should also include a link to the
documentation of the text markup.
I could try to write the text, but since I'm fairly overloaded by other
tasks for the moment, I would really appreciate if someone else could
do the job.
