2.5.1 Version number

The \version statement marks for which version of LilyPond the file was written. To mark a file for version 2.10.1, place

\version "2.10.10"

at the top of your LilyPond file.

These annotations make future upgrades of LilyPond go more smoothly. Changes in the syntax are handled with a special program, convert-ly (see Updating files with convert-ly), and it uses \version to determine what rules to apply.
