I'm willing to try this but don't understand the steps yet.  I will
read the doc's and see if I can get more out of them but I wouldn't
mind some hints.  I believe this (learning by example) is exactly the
conclusion reached by some about the Lily doc's.
   

OK.  Delete the tarball source.  Go to
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=lilypond
and read the "Anonymous CVS access" and "Software repository" sections.
The <modulename> you want is lilypond.
Once you've downloaded that, go into the lilypond directory and do
"cvs -z3 update".  (in case somebody submitted a change while you
were downloading the whole thing)
You must run ./autogen.sh before you compile anything.
Thanks for all of that.  I've still got a lot to learn.  Here's what I 
get now:
