Thanks for the suggestions, William. I double checked the paths and permissions, and I don't think the issue is there. I also tried directly untaring the 2.24.1 files and that doesn't work either: the lilypond command returns: /bin/sh: lilypond: not found even though the directory in in my PATH and the lilypond-book command returns: /usr/bin/lilypond-2.24.1/bin/lilypond-book: exec: line 10: /usr/bin/lilypond-2.24.1/bin/../libexec/python3.10: not found
I can install lilypond on Ubuntu by using apt-get, but for now I'm still completely stuck on the Alpine distribution, and I don't understand these errors.
