Hi Ralph,

I read that documentation and tried it. I'm running Windows 10 Pro, 10.0.19041 and I still get the same response: " 'convert-ly is not recognized...". Am I missing something obvious?

What's the trick for using convert-ly in a Windows Command Prompt window? I copied the convert-ly file into the directory where I want to convert everything in it, and entered convert-ly *.ly. This produced the error message " 'convert-ly' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

Then I entered convert-ly.py *.ly and it produced the same error message.

What's the trick?

Hi, Jerry -

Please take a look at the entry in the documentation :

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/invoking-convert_002dly

It tells how to run convert-ly on a single file, all files in a directory, or all files on the computer, for Linux, Apple, and Windows.

All the best,

Ralph
