I got the LilyPond app extracted from .tar.bz and it opens and runs. 
This computer has trouble compiling, though. Attached photo shows the 
error, something about incompatible cpu-subtype. This computer is old, 
who knows what's up with that. I double-checked to make sure the 
LilyPond installer is the darwin-ppc version.

Tonight I'll have another go at getting an iMac G5 running. Hard drive 
was erased, needs re-install. My macOS 10.5 Leopard DMG installer image 
needs dual-layer DVD, and the iMac's drive won't read those. I think it 
shipped with 10.4 Tiger, which installer I don't have. Copying the 
installer to USB hasn't worked yet despite many Open Firmware 
incantations to boot from the USB. FireWire DVD drives might have more 
hope, but I'd have to buy one from Amazon or eBay just for this test 
effort. And then never use again.

I have also learned that Debian's powerpc and ppc64-el versions are not 
the same thing at all.
