I changed ly-nix-ly-path in ob-lilypond.el to "/usr/local/lilypond". I restarted emacs, ran "ly-tangle" and again got the message of "no such file or directory, /usr/bin/lilypond." But my change is still there in the file, so it must be looking somewhere else, too? I also wonder: is it a good idea for me to be meddling in a file like "ob-lilypond"? Will any changes I make be reverted when I get an update from the emacs package manager? I am a beginner here, so thank you for your help! -steven
