Re: Instructions to install lilypond onto Raspberry Pi

[Peter Engelbert]

That's right -- I had to add the repository from the earlier version of Debian 
to the apt sources list.  That was the only way I could get it to install.  
Compiling a large program such as lilypond from source was far too difficult 
for me (I'm a novice when it comes to building from source).

Another way would be to install Arch linux on your raspberry pi, and the arch 
repository has 2.19.82, though I can't confirm they have the ARM package.

Don't know if I have much more to add--I can't quite remember how to change the 
apt sources as I switched to arch a while ago.

Best,
Peter
