I just checked, and the GNU/Linux one does in fact have lilypond built in. (It is not surprising - once you have got GUB working you are not going to start unpicking the installer to give the user more to do) > In debian lilypond is recommended, it's not a dependency of denemo: > > > $ apt-cache depends denemo | grep lilypond > Recommends: lilypond This is nothing to do with these Denemo binaries (or the LilyPond ones either), these binaries are just user programs - another user cannot even execute them without the original installer changing the permissions. They don't affect your system stability and so on for that reason - the cost is disk space, you have copies under your home directory of many libraries and executables that you have already installed in the system. Indeed if you use the LilyPond installer as well (and point Denemo to use that) you will have e.g. three versions of ghostscript, one in /usr/bin one in ~/lilypond/usr/bin and one in ~/denemo/usr/bin Richard > > > BUT > Note that apt-get now installs recommended packages as default and is > the preferred program for package management from console to perform > system installation and major system upgrades for its robustness. > > Source: > http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-pkgtools.en.html > > > > _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
