No. As I'm so busy with "das trunkne Lied" and openlilylib at the moment I
don't have any capacity to think in that direction.
But of course, if we had a generic way to address the current stable and
development version downloads we can use that for letting Frescobaldi
install or update LilyPond versions.
Yesterday I realized that I had forgotten to update the LilyPond version
in the automated test script we now have for openLilyLib, and that was
what made me think about the issue.

Oops, forget it. This is true for documentation only. Download pages are
always the same:
http://lilypond.org/download.html (stable)
http://lilypond.org/development.html (unstable)
But I guess that you need a permanent link. It should be asked to
linuxaudio.org <http://linuxaudio.org>
OK, I will see what I can get from them.

Since the installers are all version specific (which I approve of: I keep
them all separate in a single downloads directory) I don't believe you can
link to a simple "development installer". You would need to parse the
download pages.
