Don't use apt-get to install LilyPond, the packaging for this is something
that Ubuntu are responsible for and 2.12.3 is very old now. Download and
install the most current 2.14.x from lilypond.org instead.

You could report this to ubuntu and ask them to repackage the later version,
but I have not had any feed back when I asked them to update their packages
about 6 months ago.

So I just use the binaries from lilypond.org.
