Re: working with two different lilypond versions

[Mats Bengtsson]

Just call the corresponding binary, and everything should work fine.
To be more precise, you could for example install with
sh lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh --prefix=/usr/local/lily2.10
sh lilypond-2.11.36-1.linux-x86.sh --prefix=/usr/local/lily2.11

and then call /usr/local/lily2.10/bin/lilypond to get 2.10.33 and
/usr/local/lily2.11/bin/lilypond to get 2.11.36.
I often have to command windows open, one where I've set the $PATH
to include the stable version, another where I've set the $PATH to the
development version.
