Correct. I'm on my own! My next step will be to attempt to remove the existing TeX installation using the software manager, and then go with your strand (b). Once I have a TeX installation in place that tlmgr (which seems to have been somewhat crudely removed from the "full" version in the repositories, since some screenshots of the interface are still there but not the executable itself), I might stand a better chance of being able to follow the musixtex installation instructions on the WIMA site. To that end, would someone be kind enough to explain how to add "the relevant bin directory" to my PATH? Where would I find the PATH and how do I add things to it?
