What I want to do is install the latest version of LilyPond, but I'm unsure how or if I should remove LilyPond 2.10.33. Since I like LilyPond so much (despite my lack of knowledge concerning markup languages and programming), I'd prefer to avoid fouling up the installation of the new version.
How do I go about removing 2.10.33 (if that's even necessary) before installing the latest development version. Path$ and Directorie$ are new to me because ever since I have used a computer, I have never had to deal with such weighty decisions (BTW, if anyone knows of an online "self-help" or "twelve-step prgram"-type resource to help recovering Windows users learn how to install programs in GNU/Linux, please pass them along--I'm not really 'lazy,' I just want to avoid messing things up).
Suffice it to say that I proceed with caution in areas like this. Because of my limited knowledge, I want to make sure that I'm making no assumptions.
Thanks in advance for any insight imparted here, Dave Paul Scott wrote:

Suppose I'm using LilyPond 2.10.33 and want to upgrade to the latest (development) branch. Is there a "software source" I can type in and then have the latest version downloaded and installed via synaptic?I run them on Debian which as you know is the base for Ubuntu. Paul Scott
