About 70% of the time a link command like the following works (after
removing the previous version's link).
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/lilypond
~/Lilypond/lilypond2.25.32/bin/lilypond /usr/local/bin/lilypond
Currently the result is lilypond -v executing the stable version which
is also installed.
I think I experience similar problems in a different context. Setting
the link to Perl3 instead of the previous version still executed the old
version.
I learned that the bash has a feature to remember where the commands are
found in a hash. You can clear the entire hash or remove a specific
entry. You should try
hash -d lilypond
after creating the link. Or clear the entire hash with
hash -r
