I tried an install into /opt/lilypond. I do not have access to /opt but the
folder /opt/lilypond is completely mine.

The help says it will install into PREFIX/lilypond, but it also tries to
install scripts outside this directory in PREFIX/bin.

It refuses to install into an existing (even empty) directory. While this
may be good in some cases, it would be nice if this could be overridden.

Fun fact: The script first checks if the directory exists and bails out if
so. If not, it carefully checks if the directory exists before creating
it :).

I choose to install with PREFIX=/opt/lilypond and everything went fine.

   $ /opt/lilypond/bin/lilypond --version
   GNU LilyPond 2.21.0

Verified some scores with Frescobaldi, looks ok.

Good job!
