Re: Latest Version sh file?
Yes, I am there. I got it now. I put it in bin. It's up and running. I
think I am getting old, lol. It's odd, Frescobaldi isn't working on
mint 21, there is a bug directly at startup, but there is an option of
Frescobaldi Flatpak which is running, but the pathways to the
Frescoabaldi Flatpak application are bizarre. This means the Frescobaldi
Flatpak won't run the lilypond 2.23, just 2.22 for some reason. It
struggled to do /include "myfile.ly" in a lilypond bang.
But, yeah, I am running 2.23 in the terminal and all is good. That's the
way I used to run lilypond anyway. I work on multi file lilypond
projects all the time, so Frescobaldi is a wonderful aid. Gosh,
updating to mint 21 was a dream.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Thanks, got it. I used to be a C programmer, lol. You think I would
know. I must say that I did like the sh file better than sudo mv.
One more question though, I can't move it to usr/share because that is
where the usr/share/lilypond folder is that holds 2.22.1, right?
Yes, I wouldn't commingle versions, particularly downloaded ones
with distribution ones.
I am
thinking a good place for it is usr/local/share/.
Because of the lilypond binary itself, I would prefer a bin/, like
/usr/local/bin/lilypond-2.23.12/{bin,etc,lib,libexec,licenses,share}/
but as I'm the only one using it here, I just use ~/lilypond-2.23.12/…
along with several other versions. I don't modify my $PATH.
I run LP with a bash function having the following options:
-p restore Point-and-click (increases size, reveals paths),
-x run eXperimental cairo backend (for 2.23.12 on, PDF-1.5, doubles size),
-l retain the Log output rather than moving it to trash,
-v run a specific Version of LilyPond from $HOME,
-s run the Stable version rather than the newest,
-o run the Oldest version from $HOME,
-d run the installed Debian version,
-c Crop PDF file with pdfcrop for inclusion within LaTeX files.
Cheers,
David.

Move this to any permanent location you like. Run lilypond and the other binaries either by giving their full path, or by adding lilypond-2.23.12/bin to your $PATH (under the name you chose). Uninstall, if required, by removing the top-level directory. Cheers, David.

Latest Version sh file?
Hi, I do appreciate using the latest version of lilypond. I went to download the latest version, because I did a complete update to my computer with mint 21, and the linux latest version to download appears to be source files. Didn't it used to be a sh file? I would just sudo sh the latest version and typeset with glee. What is up? Craig Bakalian
