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.
