Well, the LSR insiders are aware of it, not the users, because the LSR does 
not display the version-specific tag! To the user it looks just fine on LSR, 
but doesn't work locally if they use 2.11...

Sure, but that was not my point. My point was that I have no idea of which 
version this snippet was written for (if I saved it to disk a few months 
ago...), since it doesn't contain any version. So, running convert-ly on it 
is not possible.

Well, we don't really need this. We only need an indication for the user, 
which version of lilypond should be used. Otherwise we'll regularly get 
questions on lilypond-user, why a snippet does not work...

Cheers,
