Hi David,
Thanks, got it. I used to be a C programmer, lol. You think I would
know. I must say that I did like the sh file better than sudo mv. One
more question though, I can't move it to usr/share because that is where
the usr/share/lilypond folder is that holds 2.22.1, right? I am
thinking a good place for it is usr/local/share/.

I do appreciate using the latest version of lilypond. I went to
download the latest version, because I did a complete update to my
computer with mint 21, and the linux latest version to download
appears to be source files. Didn't it used to be a sh file? I would
just sudo sh the latest version and typeset with glee. What is up?
Just unpack the archive, when the top-level directory will be
lilypond-2.23.12. Move this to any permanent location you like.
Run lilypond and the other binaries either by giving their full path,
or by adding lilypond-2.23.12/bin to your $PATH (under the name you chose).
Uninstall, if required, by removing the top-level directory.
Cheers,
David.
