surely those same copy-pasters will simply paste

sh lilypond-*.*.*.linux-x86.sh

and get an error

it's always best to give an example like:

"at the command line type sh lilypond-X.Y.Z.linux-x86.sh according to your version and platform (e.g. for Version 2.11.14 type sh lilypond-2.11.14.linux-x86.sh)"

it isn't always obvious, even for experienced users

I tried to install LilyPond using the command "sh lilypond- X.Y.Z.linux-x86.sh".

You have to replace the X.Y.Z with the actual version number of the file you
downloaded.

Maybe we'd better change the instructions into "sh
lilypond-*.*.*.linux-x86.sh", in case users want to blindly
copy/paste?
(we must keep in mind that some Linux users are not familiar with the
command-line, and copy/pasting is about all they can do)

Cheers,
