So make sure to make a safety copy of it before you downgrade, otherwise you might be out of luck. The problem here is: this file is not being backed up by Time Machine, for which ever reason.

What it doesn't mention is how to get back your current playlists and other tracklist changes, in case you have already made some changes in iTunes 11 which would be lost when reverting to the old 10.7 library from your (Time Machine) backup.
