Unfortunately, there is no simple way for the Mutopia maintainer  
(Chris Sawer) to update all the files with each new Lilypond version.  
I would suggest using the latest stable Lilypond version's convert-ly  
to update the file. If you can download one of the compiled binary  
Lilypond versions, use the "convert" function. Depending on how old  
is the Lilypond version of the Mutopia file, you may have to do some  
further editing.
