Thanks, but I discovered after writing my last post that tlmgr is
actually absent from the version of TeXlive (even TeXlive-full) in the
Mint/Ubuntu repositories! I managed to install a musixTeX package via 
the repositories, but it's out of date and doesn't work as it should.

I guess my next step is to install a version of TeXlive that does 
include tlmgr (or more correctly to find hout how to do that in the 
first place). Until then, could you explain more clearly *how* to add 
a directory to my path? As I said, I only installed Mint on Saturday 
and I've barely begun to learn the ropes!
