Thank you so much.
I can't help you there.

If it helps, I installed the downloaded file lilypond-2.22.0-1.linux-64.sh with the commands: $ cd ~ $ bash .../lilypond-2.22.0-1.linux-64.sh --prefix lilypond-2.22.0-1.linux-64 (... is wherever you download things) and ran it thus: $ cd /tmp/ $ ~/lilypond-2.22.0-1.linux-64/bin/lilypond newmend.ly GNU LilyPond 2.22.0 Processing `newmend.ly' Parsing...
