If you are comfortable with making patches and compiling, LilyDev is

Agreed.  Urs: if you didn't get that impression from reading the
CG, then could you suggest somewhere to add something to that
effect (or maybe just copy James' comment literally) ?  We don't
actually want to discourage experienced linux users from using
their native environment; like you, I would find it a bit
insulting if a project really did claim that I wasn't able to set
up my own devel environment.  That said, we want to make it
absolutely clear that sorting out the potentially-complicated
build dependencies is not *required* from contributors.

I'll give it a shot ASAP. Probably it's only an issue of two or three tiny rewordings, just to give the right *impression*.
I think I'm quite clear about how it should be.

Unfortunately I'm suffering from Holiday's Disease. That is, as long as the children and particularly my wife are at home I don't have access to a Linux box or in general to a computer with more than 10 minutes of coherent concentration ;-) Any activity that relies on either of these conditions has to wait until next week. And I have to admit that LilyPond documentation/website isn't absolutely on the top of the list.

Best
Urs
