...or make "lilypond" a script that check the required version in the
.ly file and calls the appropriate one? That is the sort of solution
that something like Mutopia needs.
A lesser nightmare, requiring fewer versions, would be to have only
the latest minor version (2.X.Y) of each major version (2.X) and use
that for all previous minor versions. Is it true that minor lilypond
versions are only bugfixes to the 2.X.1 release, without changing the
input syntax/semantics in a non-backward-compatible way?
