I don't agree with the following paragraph: """ Generic Packages or Distribution-Specific Packages? Many distributions include LilyPond in their normal package system. These versions are easier to install and uninstall than the generic packages, but they may be older. If you wish to use our generic packages, please uninstall the official version from your system using the normal package manager for your distribution. See your distribution’s documentation about how to use their package manager. """ More versions of lilypond can be installed on linux without any problem. Most importantly, some packages may depend on the lilypond package of the distribution. For example, a widely used editor: # aptitude why lilypond i frescobaldi Depends lilypond Denemo and Frescobaldi have a preference option to set the path of the lilypond binary. At any rate, if the full path is not specified, the lilypond.org binary will have priority in the PATH. Maybe we could change the sentence to: """ Generic Packages or Distribution-Specific Packages? Many distributions include LilyPond in their normal package system. These versions are easier to install and uninstall than the generic packages, but they may be older. If you wish to use our generic packages, please check that your editor of choice is using the correct version of lilypond. Read more on....
