Yes, I removed 2.14.2 using the Ubuntu Software Centre. > Also, where did > you install the latest version?

I don't seem to have any. One of the things I liked about the Ubuntu installation of LilyPond 2.14.2 was that the html manuals were installed on my hard drive and so were available all of the time. I don't seem to have that for 2.18.0 and can only view the manuals via the LilyPond website, but I should very much like to install them on my machines if possible - I can't always rely on having a usable wifi connection with my netbook. Incidentally, both the pieces I have set so far now compile correctly under 2.18.0, without errors. And, yes, even the misaligned dynamics, which were the reason for my original question, are corrected now. Thanks for all your help.
