Strictly speaking, Debian stable, currently stretch, doesn't contain lilypond because it depends on guile-1.8-libs which stretch doesn't support. There's no need to disturb the LP installation you already have; you can use the up-to-date version merely by downloading it, then $ cd ~ $ bash .../lilypond-2.19.80-1.linux-x86.sh --prefix lilypond-2.19.80-1 $ ~/lilypond-2.19.80-1/bin/lilypond your-source-file.ly If you like it, you could $ alias lily='~/lilypond-2.19.80-1/bin/lilypond' and then $ lily your-source-file.ly (... is the path to wherever your downloads go.)
