Federico:
Thank you very much for your help. Now I have configure frescobaldi to run
v2.12.3 and v2.14.1. Now I can go back to code lilypond scores. I will soon
start to play the development v2.15.1 when I have spare time. I had been
using
jedit in window 7, but only one version of lilypond. Now frescobaldi ubuntu
provide different version of lilypond to run - an excellent software.
Thank you for the tips on terminal commands. This is my first month of using
linux ubuntu. What is the difference between sh and sudo sh?
Blessing,
Ming.

Type in a terminal:
which -a lilypond
You'll see all the lilypond binaries **that are installed in your
path**. In order to see which directories are included in the path
variable, type in a terminal:
echo $PATH
I guess that v2.12.3 is in /usr/bin.
Please paste the output of previous command (echo $PATH).
If I remember correctly, you missed /home/tsang/bin and there was also
some strange path.

You can install it as you installed v2.14.1.
It won't override the previous installation if you choose a different
path. The easiest way is installing as root:
sudo sh lilypond-2.15.1-1.linux-x86.sh
It will be installed in /usr/local
For example I have:
$ which -a lilypond
/home/fede/bin/lilypond
/usr/local/bin/lilypond
/usr/bin/lilypond
$ echo $PATH
/home/fede/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
As you can see, my first lilypond binary is /home/fede/bin/lilypond
because /home/fede/bin is the first path.
That means that if I type:
lilypond
/home/fede/bin/lilypond will be actually executed
In order to use the other binaries in the terminal, I must specify the
absolute path:
/usr/local/bin/lilypond
HTH,
Federico
