On typical UNIX-like systems these days, a user account beowulf has both
a user id of beowulf and a group id of beowulf.  This is not a necessity
as much as a convention making some permission management easier.
Typical utilities creating accounts follow that permission.  It seems
like on your system, the user "lilypond" (assuming it exists) does not
have an accompanying group "lilypond".
