Greetings! I'd like to try Rosegarden on my Debian Wheezy box, but I've already installed Lilypond 2.16.2 locally, which works as I need it to. I'm concerned that if I install Rosegarden from the Debian repo it will install its own (from my POV obsolete) version of Lilypond. How can I install Rosegarden while keeping Lilypond 2.16.2 and without breaking anything? -- Hilary |

If it's in /usr/local you'll be able to have both versions as debian installs to just /usr Instead of using just "lilypond" to launch the program your 'front end' will have to do "/usr/local/bin/lilypond" -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

I suppose I could alias the local Lilypond and its successors. It's a shame lp is already taken. :) |

My understanding of installing stuff into /usr/local/bin is that it will take precedence over stuff that is installed from a package manager into /usr/bin as it is first in $path. If the system finds it first in /usr/local/bin it will use it, if not it will look for it in /usr/bin.

This has turned out to be so: after installing Rosegarden, "which lilypond" still returns "/usr/local/bin/lilypond". Excellent! It looks as though a bigger challenge will be getting jack to work. -- Hilary |
