I'll jump in here if it's all right. Craig, did you notice that there's an installation[1] page that you can get to from the download page? I missed that at first. The command-line installation instructions are rather terse, but I guess the assumption is that if you're using the command-line, you know how to run tar, mv directories around, add things to the PATH, etc. But is that a good assumption? I do think the tarball could benefit from having a README file with even just this text: "Installation instructions can be found at https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/learning/installing." ...or even the text from the command-line instructions.
