-This document explains what you need to install LilyPond, and what you
-should do.  If you are going to compile and install LilyPond often,
-e.g. when doing development, you might want to check out the
-@file{buildscripts/set-lily.sh} script.  It sets some environment
-variables and symlinks, which comes in handy when you have to compile
