installdir = ~/usr/lilypond/
Hey, it's my system; I can be as strange as I want.  :)

but you're right that the actual dir is probably
/home/gperciva/usr/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/

(it's on my other laptop, so I can't check right now)

You also had a good point about package managers.


Trevor, I modified LM 4.6.3 Other...   a bit, but it's now a mess.
I didn't think that you'd introduced "GUB", so I called them
"Download from lilypond.org".  It's really looking like this stuff
should go in AU, but that destroys the "read from start to finish,
everything included" nature of the LM.  :(

Any brilliant suggestions?  I'm stuck.  :|
