Greetings -
I'm trying to download the current stable package, at
http://lilypond.org/unix.html.
The link go to a script, not a download package. It opens in my
browser and does nothing.
I'm not seen this novel behavior before, and don't know what to do at
this point.
My objective is to upgrade from Ly 2.16.0.1 to 2.16.2-1, Kubuntu
Linux 13.04.
Thanks for any assistance on this.

There are a couple of steps needed, Tom.
First, you will need to uninstall the 2.16.0 package. You probably
have a /bin folder in your home folder, and it should have a script
called uninstall-lily or something similar.
You're right. When I try to execute the script, it asks me to do this
uninstall, and provides the command needed.
Next, you go to your Download folder, or the place you stored the
downloaded script. Right-click the script, go to Properties, and make
it executable.
I used to have to do this. It now comes already executable.
Now, you can run the script to carry out the installation in your home
folder.
The other thing you should do, assuming you use a tool such as
Frescobaldi, is to update its settings so that it looks to the proper
place for documentation. You may want to download the doc tarball (
http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/documentation/lilypond-2.16.2-1.documentation.tar.bz2
) and store it locally, or you could point your Frescobaldi or other
editor to the LilyPond website.
Thanks for both the reminder about Frescobaldi, which I do use, and the
documentation link, which for some reason I had trouble finding.
The above is from memory, as I generally compile from source, so YMMV
but probably not much.
Hope that helps, Tom!
Cheers,
Colin
All's well now. Thanks!
Tom
