I *think* the approperiate .el and .elc files are installed
automatically, but you need some magic to invoke them from your emacs.

Here's relevant portions of the .emacs from my Powerbook; paste this
snippet into your .emacs file (or create it, in your home directory,
if you don't already have it):

----snip---->8

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(global-font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock)))

(load "lilypond-init")

----snip---->8

(If you've already used Custom, you'll want to set Global font lock
from there or from the Options menu, and just insert the last line.)
