Are you sure? In my Windows 10 installation of Lilypond 2.22.1, the 
only file called "convert-ly" (in C:\Program Files 
(x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin) has no extension. Is this an error?

Don't you first have to correct the name of convert-ly to what it 
should have been: convert-ly.py? Or what did I do wrong at 
installation time to cause this?
