In synaptic make sure the "universe" repository is selected (you can do this
from Settings->Repositories). Then reload the package information, select
lilypond and install it. Alternatively if you already know this repository is
activated, you can simply open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get lilypond
Good luck,
Bernard
