Lilypond-unstable will get you version 2.5.0-1. To get the new package version, Jim should issue the command "fink self-update". This will update the fink software if there is a newer version and update all of the package descriptions. Then issue "fink list" to verify that the newer version will be installed. Finally issue "fink install lilypond" to update the lilypond installation to the newer version. Jim, just as a word of advice I have found that it is better to use one of the templates found in the documentation rather than typing in the file from scratch. Good luck.
