The login sequence for login shells and normal shells is a bit different:
At login ~/.bash_profile is sourced (i.e. executed), but not ~/.bashrc...
That's the reason why e.g. Debian's default ~/.bash_profile contains:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi
This will also execute the .bashrc during login and you can savely place your
customization into .bashrc (which will be executed for every
shell, .bash_profile will not in general..).

I would rather do
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
which makes the shell look in ~/bin before it looks in default locations
like /usr/bin or /bin... Otherwise you'll automatically run the lilypond
version from /usr/bin/ and not your self-compiled version.
Cheers,
Reinhold
