17 There are two sets of releases for LilyPond: stable releases, and
18 unstable development releases. Stable versions have an even-numbered
19 @q{minor} version number (i.e. 2.8, 2.10, 2.12, etc). Development
20 versions have an odd-numbered @q{minor} version number (i.e. 2.7, 2.9,
23 Building LilyPond is a very involved process, so we @strong{highly}
24 recommend using the precompiled binaries.

56 If you have MacOS 10.3 or 10.4 and you would like to use Python
57 scripts such as @command{convert-ly} and @command{lilypond-book}, see
58 @ref{Setup for MacOS X,,,lilypond-program,Application Usage}.
61 You can also compile LilyPond directly from the source code. This
62 requires that you can read English, so this section is not
63 translated. If you really want to compile LilyPond, see
65 @c DO NOT translate the following line at all.
66 @ref{Compiling from source,,,lilypond-program,Application Usage}.
69 @c Please translate the following line (but not the .html file name)
70 the @uref{Compiling-from-source.html,documentation in English}.
75 @c Please **do not** translate the file included below. Users
76 @c should not be compiling LilyPond themselves; if they really
77 @c want to do so, they should be able to read the English docs,
78 @c because they'll probably need to ask questions in English
79 @c on the -devel list. -gp
80 @c Instead, please uncomment and translate the paragraph above,
81 @c and remove all stuff (menu, nodes, contents) below this line.
