I've just installed 2.19.52 and put it into Frescobaldi. On converting two of my files I got 2 oddities:

1) (fairly serious) It converted to 2.19.49, not .52 - I changed the version number by hand, but I'd have thought that this should be automatic. The message at the bottom of the file is:

%{
convert-ly.py (GNU LilyPond) 2.19.52  convert-ly.py: Processing `'...
Applying conversion: 2.19.2, 2.19.7, 2.19.11, 2.19.16, 2.19.22,
2.19.24, 2.19.28, 2.19.29, 2.19.32, 2.19.40, 2.19.46, 2.19.49
%}

This means that there hasn't been any syntax changes between .49 and .52

See, http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/invoking-convert_002dly.en.html

I have been recommended that I manually change the \version to the current one AFTER running convert-ly
