-The LilyPond input syntax occasionally changes. As LilyPond itself
-improves, the syntax (input language) is modified accordingly. Sometimes
-these changes are made to make the input easier to read and write or
-sometimes the changes are made to accomodate new features of LilyPond.
-
-LilyPond comes with a file that makes this updating easier:
-@code{convert-ly}. For details about how to run this program, see
-@ref{Updating files with convert-ly}.
-
-Unforunately, @code{convert-ly} cannot handle all input changes. It
-takes care of simple search-and-replace changes (such as @code{raggedright}
-becoming @code{ragged-right}), but some changes are too
-complicated. The syntax changes that @code{convert-ly} cannot handle
-are listed in @ref{Updating files with convert-ly}.
-
-For example, in LilyPond 2.4 and earlier, accents and non-English
-letters were entered using LaTeX -- for example,
-"@code{No\"el}" (this would print the French word for
-`Christmas'). In LilyPond 2.6 and above, the special
-"@code{ë}" must be entered directly into the LilyPond file as an
-UTF-8 character. @code{convert-ly} cannot change all the LaTeX
-special characters into UTF-8 characters; you must manually update
-your old LilyPond files.
