Comment #3 on issue 4187 by address@hidden: Usage: convert-ly command  
line tips
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4187

Hmm..

Actually the Windows equivalent command for comment #2  would be this:

forfiles /s /M *.ly /c "cmd /c lilypond @file"

    or if you want to state the explicit dir to search if it isn't in your  
existing directory add the /p switch.

forfiles /s /p C:\my\lilypond\files\here /M *.ly /c "cmd /c lilypond @file"

There is probably some consideration for spaces (escape them or use quotes)  
but again documenting all the permutations is tedious - I've tested this on  
Windows 8).

I haven't been able to workout a simple command to output the files in the  
dir you run the 'forfiles' commands from. It's not as powerful as xargs or  
exec.

But I can add that to help our window's users...

Regarding merging the two chapters, now that I have looked, we are simply  
following the same convention for running convert-ly as running lilypond -  
the chapter/section layouts are the same. So I think it would be best to  
keep it consistent for now anyway.
