Re: conver-ly using frecobaldi 3.0.1

[MING TSANG]

Anders:  Thank you for the info about convert-ly in frecobaldi. I will wait for the new version.

David: The LSR 619 do not contain \version statement. So I added to it and run and it's OK.. Then I change the \version to "2.19.83" and compile - error occurs.  Then I try to use frecobaldi to do the convert-ly and it fails.

I have not run command line convert-ly ever. Please send me the command synthetic and steps of executing it. Thanks.

What do you mean?  You change the \version header?

Why should it do anything if your \version header is already 2.19.83?
If you want it to do anything, the \version header needs to correspond
to the syntax in the file, in this case 2.18.2.  Then it will do the
changes required to get from versino 2.18.2 to the current version
including (but not restricted to) updating the \version header.

Do not change the \version header to something that does not correspond
to the version of the code in the file: that just misleads convert-ly.
