Actually, that's not necessary (if you have enough space). Have a look at http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb32-1/tb100gregorio.pdf for a detailed description of the installation of texlive on debian-based systems. Version 2013 should work the same way. I don't know if mint uses sudo <command> to execute a command with root rights (on my debian it is not configured like this). If that doesn't work, use su to get a root shell and type in the commands without sudo. Anything else should work the same way. > 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?

This directory is automagically on the PATH. But with the texlive version from ctan you shouldn't need that - getting the packages via tlmgr should do the job.
