Re: Two Lilies on one box?

[Mats Bengtsson]

That shouldn't be too hard, especially if you are compiling Lily
yourself and can set the installation directory using
./configure --prefix=...
If you have at least one of the installations in a directory with
write access for ordinary users, then the generated font files for
the two versions should end up in different places so you shouldn't
get any font clashes.
Just remember to source the corresponding versions of lilypond-profile
when you switch Lily version (actually, as long as you use ly2dvi,
now renamed to lilypond, with flags -p or -P and only view the .ps
or .pdf, there's no need to source these files, just set the path
to the corresponding binaries).
