(minor corrections on this one, sorry...)

Nice! There could be some updates though:

In lieu of step one (which is the simplest way to do it), one could 
use fink to install a more recent version of xFree86 or the fink xorg 
package (the latter is only available in the unstable tree), which 
are more recent versions of X11. Note that you must choose either to 
follow step one and use Apple's X11 or install X11 via fink (you 
cannot do both). The respective fink commands would be 'fink install 
xfree86' or 'fink install xorg'

Enabling fink's unstable tree is no longer necessary to install 
LilyPond (but you do get a more recent version -- 2.4 as opposed to 
2.2 in the stable tree). In either case, the command is 'fink install 
lilypond' -- one does not need 'fink install lilypond-unstable' if 
the trees are correctly set and 'fink selfupdate' has been run.

Lastly, my output files are not on the Desktop, but rather they are 
in my home directory. (Could be an environment setting I need to 
make....)

Otherwise, everything is as stated! I'm also new to LilyPond and I'm 
fascinated by it.
