Have you tried?
Yes. I've looked for many files like elisp and lilypond-mode in my
attempts.
There is GNUmakefile which will get picked up by, well,
GNU Make.
I hadn't thought of GNUmakefile but according to updatedb and locate
there are only two clearly unrelated GNUmakefiles on this computer.
Which begs the question: just what have you installed where and how
with

I have Lily 2.22-2 and 2.23.6 installed.
Where and how?
2.22.2: Debian install
2.23.6: .sh file from LilyPond web site.
Nothing resolved about a makefile.
My solution from various helpful suggestions here and a couple of web
sites and my own previous installation:
In .emacs.d directory I have the following init.el starting with the
following:
(setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name
"/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/" )) load-path))
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ily$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))
Most of my music is in .ily files included in .ly files for each
instruments or scores.
Thank to everyone who replied,
Paul

I'm only running bullseye, whereas you appear to be running sid.
I can see that the package lilypond-data contains:
$ ls -l /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50lilypond-data.el
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185 Feb 2 2021
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50lilypond-data.el
Do you have this file? It should set lilypond mode for .ly files.
Were they working already? If not, I can only suggest that something
in your ~/.emacs configuration is interfering with the file's action.
However, you may find that lilypond mode is not being set for .ily
files. If you are the only user, the easiest fix for that may be to add:
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.ily$" . LilyPond-mode) auto-mode-alist))
to your ~/.emacs file (creating it if absent).
For systems with several users, open the file
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50lilypond-data.el and duplicate
the second line, changing .ly to .ily (which has to be
done as root). On subsequent upgrades, you will need to
confirm that you want to keep your version of that file,
as it's a conffile.

Ah, I'm sorry, I must make one correction. The equals sign was
missing. The location flag looks like this:

Of course, this also assumes that you have downloaded the
documentation with the `--documentation' flag.

Re: installing lilypond-mode for emacs on Linux
Greetings Paul,
I don't know if this will help, but this is what I do to get
lilypond-mode working on emacs. The one caveat is that I only have one
version installed. First, when installing the .sh file, I use the flag
`--prefix /usr/'. This ensures that the bin file is in the directory
where I want it - namely, /usr/bin. Then, in my .emacs file, I include
the following lines:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/")
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/usr/lilypond/usr/share/info/")
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode")
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))
As you can see, this also directs emacs where to search for the
texinfo files. But when calling Info with `C-h i', you probably will
still not see the lilyond manuals. That is because the dir file within
that info directory is empty. So, as root, I put the following lines
in that file:
LilyPond
* LilyPond Changes: (lilypond-changes). New features in 2.22.2 since 2.20
* LilyPond Contributor's Guide: (lilypond-contributor).
* LilyPond Essay: (lilypond-essay).
* LilyPond Extending: (lilypond-extending).
* LilyPond Internals Reference: (lilypond-internals).
* LilyPond Learning Manual: (lilypond-learning).
* LilyPond Music Glossary: (music-glossary).
* LilyPond Notation Reference: (lilypond-notation).
* LilyPond Snippets: (lilypond-snippets).
* LilyPond Usage: (lilypond-usage).
* LilyPond Web: (lilypond-web).
Everything before the period in each line must stay in that format.
After the period, you can write whatever description you like.
I hope this helps.
