Debian "stable" packages _do_ tend to be somewhat less than "cutting edge". I've just been investigating Laura's apt sources suggestion - it very nearly works, but s/stable/woody/ - ie, add a line deb ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/debian woody . to /etc/apt/sources.list, and then "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" will take you to lilypond 1.6.10. I've just done this. -- Richard Robinson "The whole plan hinged upon the natural curiosity of potatoes" - S.
