Thanks for this, Patrick! It works just right. Now I have to look at
it to figure out *why* it works the way it does ;-) I haven't used
that sort of construct before...

Well, my face is red. Just tried my script from a different directory
and it doesn't put the output in the right place. I guess I've always
just cd'd to the right dir before running the script. Sorry about that!
I'll see if I can make it work right. Just have to figure out how to

All of the output goes to your current working directory unless you
specify otherwise. So, if you cd ~/Desktop as Graham suggests, then
it'll end up there.
If you're interested, you can try this little script I wrote that

Lilypond was one of the first things I installed when I did
a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 upgrade. It worked fine immediately for
me, and I think all I did was run the script (not as

How exactly did you extract Lilypond?
If you have downloaded the shell script
(lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh) and run it as root, it should now be
installed in /usr/local/. It is possible that /usr/local/bin is not
