    The install was successful. I didn’t know where it installed, but found it 
in /opt/lilypond .

That's where it was supposed to be.
    
    It successfully generated a correct-looking pdf and midi (I’ll verify them 
tomorrow) from a single source file (no includes but english.ly). The file was 
already version 2.19. I’ll try using convert-ly and more complex files tomorrow.

Yes, it was made from the latest development release, 2.19.83
    
    Since this may not be of general interest, please give me some guidance on

 Please report your experiences.

Here's some test code that has been known to fail on 32-bit lilypond 
executables, but succeed on 64-bit linux executables.

%%%% Start of code

\version "2.19.82"
{
  \time 4/4
  \repeat unfold 1000 { c4 d e f } % TEN PAGES of music
  \repeat unfold 1000 { f1 } % + SIX MORE PAGES of music
  \repeat unfold 1000 { c4 d e f } % BUT WHEN ADDING MORE PAGES, fail NOW
}

%%%%% End of code

I expect it to work, but it would be nice to get a confirmation.

It's nice to know that this package can be installed.

Thanks,
