PP:
As someone who is forever bewildered by Ly's download page
(because no where else am I downloading a script instead of an
installation module - I live a sheltered life!), allow me to
assist:
1. On the unix download page - http://lilypond.org/unix.html -
scroll down just a bit and you see install and uninstall
instructions. To install -
Install
In the shell, type:
cd PATH-TO-DOWNLOAD-DIRECTORY
sh lilypond-2.18.0-OS-TYPE.sh
I don't think you need to uninstall the previous version, but it wouldn't hurt
to do it manually before installing the new one.

Congrats,
David et al!
If I download lilypond-2.18.0-1.linux-x86.sh to
my Debian "Squeeze" box (hoping to make it
work there), will that file execute on its own?
In any case, will its execution disable/replace
my 2.12.3 (already happily running)?
Thanks & Happy New Year

Some of you might have seen this on the lilypond-announce list,
but I
repeat it here since not everybody may read the announce list.
The big
announcement to all the non-LilyPond lists will happen in a few
days if
we don't get major complaints.
Here it goes:
We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.18.0 -
the new
stable release. LilyPond is a music engraving program devoted to
producing the highest-quality sheet music possible. It brings
the
aesthetics of traditionally engraved music to computer
printouts.
Among the numerous improvements and changes, the following might
be
most visible:
* Many items are now positioned using their actual outline
rather than
a rectangular bounding box. This greatly reduces the occurrence
of
unsightly large gaps.
* Sets and overrides can now use a simpler syntax
* Triplets with a given group length can now be written using a
more
user-friendly syntax
A full list of noteworthy new features is given in:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/changes/index.html
Great thanks go to the large number of LilyPond enthusiasts
whose
financial backing enabled one core developer, David Kastrup, to
focus
exclusively on LilyPond during the entire development cycle.
