I have to grab the newest components of Fink from CVS. I shouldn't have  
to do this to get a release of lilypond that isn't unstable. If an  
upgrade of lilypond didn't work before, a bump up to 1.8 probably won't  
do it either. But hey, why not?

Sure -- it's a .ly from the templates area I pulled to test the  
software:
