Can't find lilypond package to install on my Raspberry Pi.

[zbychuk]

Hi.

I have a problem with finding package for "lilypond" from my Raspbian Stretch image.

In Raspbian Jessie there is lilypond package, but frescobaldi editor is it's old version.

Now in Raspbian Stretch image the Frescobaldi Editor is in the new 3.0.0 version, but lilypond is missing.

Can you help me with this?

PS. I searched "lilypond raspbian" on google, but there is almost nothing about my problem.

Thanks.

I haven't been able to find it either. I'm going to have a go at compiling it. It I'm successful, and it's aloud, I'll post it here.

I just noticed that lilypond is in the stretch-backports package, according to the Debian website.
Googling for how to add the stretch-backports repository, I found instructions on this page:

https://github.com/superjamie/lazyweb/w ... -Backports

(though I do not know if this page is a trustworthy source...)

The instructions refer to jessie-backports, but they also work for stretch-backports just by replacing "jessie" with "stretch".

I also had to install package "dirmngr" with "sudo apt install dirmngr" for making the instructions work.

After that, you can simply run "sudo apt-get install lilypond" as usual.
