Second, I'd drop the strong bits and simply use four paras like:
"If you are using MS Windows (any flavour) and downloaded the
standard version of LilyPond from lilypond.org, the directory of
interest is C:/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/."
"If you installed LilyPond by using a package manager or by compiling
it from source the directory of interest on any system is
PREFIX/share/lilypond/X.Y.Z/
where ... etc"
IMO it's more clear which material the user should read this way.
If you're on windows, you don't need to see anything about OSX or
linux. I wouldn't mind changing it to a list, but I don't think
that mere paragraphs are enough.
A list would be fine. What I disliked was the attempt to construct
a heading from the conditions. These are better explained in text.
An alternative would be a list for Linux:
@strong{MS Windows}
...
@strong{MacOS}
...
@strong{Linux}
- if you installed LilyPond by downloading from lilypond.org ...
- if you installed LilyPond from your Linux distribution ...
I think I prefer this way - it's really clear to Windows
users that they can ignore the Mac and Linux bits, and there
is no need to mention how they obtained LilyPond, as there is
no choice.
Cheers,
