Oh well I tried i downloaded lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh from this GNU/Linux 64: LilyPond 2.19.83-1 buttonat
http://lilypond.org/development.html I tried to upgrade using Synaptic package Manager but that only showed 2.18.2 which i have installed. So, I read up on sh files and got this far sudo sh lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh --help lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond tarball Options --batch no interaction --doc [attempt to] download and install documentation --prefix PREFIX install into PREFIX/lilypond (default: /usr/local) --help this help --tarball extract tar file for archive perhaps I am just one step away but I am willing to wait for confirmation if I am supposed to type this: sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond tarball or sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond --tarball or sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh -tarball one last attempt sudo pip install --upgrade lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64 gave me this error messageERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64 removing the -1.linux-64 didn't help one bit either. Thank you so very much for your help... Perplexed Bill Milmoe
