I'm pleased to announce that a fink package to compile Lilypond 1.5.45 
is now available for MacOS X.

To try it:

- Get the Fink package manager from http://fink.sourceforge.net
- Get the Lilypond package description by either
   a) Enabling the "unstable" tree in fink and executing "fink selfupdate"
   b) Or copying the two included files into 
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo
- Install the Lilypond package by executing

        fink install lilypond-unstable

That's it! The command should compile & install all Lilypond 
prerequisites (python, TeX, X11, ghostscript) and then
Lilypond itself.

I've named this package "lilypond-unstable" in the hope of eventually 
also creating a "lilypond" package once I manage to build one of the 1.4 
(or possibly 1.6 when that time comes) releases. I plan to catch up with 
new 1.5 releases every 2 weeks or so.

Please let me know about your success or failure in using this package. 
The more feedback I get, the sooner the lilypond package can be folded 
into the main fink distribution.

Matthias
