I wasn't aware of the name change of \compressFullBarRests at that 
point.  I have no doubt about the ability of convert-ly to do a simple 
name change.  I was thinking convert-ly could do the structural change I 
erroneously thought was necessary to solve wha I thought was my problem.

I wouldn't consider what I said to be a rant and didn't intend to rant.

Which as you now know is what I did.  (The new name is misleading but I 
can live with that.)

Thank you,
