147 the generic packages, but they may be older. If you wish to use
148 our generic packages, please uninstall the official version from
149 your system using the normal package manager for your distribution.

328 The most convenient way to run lilypond scripts is by setting up
329 @qq{helper} scripts of your own.
334 Create a directory to store these scripts,
343 Create a file called @command{lilypond} which contains
345 @divClass{h-scroll-auto}
347 exec @var{DIR}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@@"
351 @warning{@var{DIR} will generally be @code{/Applications/}}
355 Create similar files @command{lilypond-book},
356 @command{convert-ly}, and any other scripts you wish to use, by
357 replacing the @command{bin/lilypond} with @command{bin/convert-ly}
358 (or other program name).
362 Make the file executable,
370 Now, add this directory to your path. Modify (or create) a file
371 called @code{.profile} in your home directory such that it
375 export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
378 This file should end with a blank line.
383 @subsubheading Invoking individual scripts
385 The scripts --- such as @command{lilypond-book}, @command{convert-ly},
386 @command{abc2ly}, and even @command{lilypond} itself --- are included
387 inside the @code{.app} file for MacOS@tie{}X.
389 Scripts can also be run from the command line by invoking them
392 @divClass{h-scroll-auto}
394 @var{path/to}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond
398 The same is true for all other scripts in that directory, such as
399 @command{lilypond-book} and @command{convert-ly}.
