Oh well I tried
i downloaded 

lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh
from this
GNU/Linux 64: LilyPond 2.19.83-1
 buttonat 

http://lilypond.org/development.html
I tried to upgrade using Synaptic package Manager but that only showed 2.18.2 
which i have installed.

So, I read up on sh files and got this far
sudo sh lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh --help
lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond tarball
Options
  --batch             no interaction
  --doc               [attempt to] download and install documentation
  --prefix PREFIX     install into PREFIX/lilypond (default: /usr/local)
  --help              this help
  --tarball           extract tar file for archive

perhaps I am just one step away but I am willing to wait for confirmation if I 
am supposed to type this:
sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond tarball or

sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond --tarball
or 

sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh -tarball
one last attempt
sudo pip install --upgrade lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64
gave me this error messageERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the 
requirement lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64
removing the -1.linux-64 didn't help one bit either.

Thank you so very much for your help...
