This is correct but there is no need to make the script executable if
you launch it as an argument of the sh command, this way:

sudo sh lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh

As you are on the same directory the script is, and it is a regular
filename used as argument, also there is no need of the ./ part.

To uninstall, simply write "sudo unin" and press TAB, it will
autoexpand to uninstall-lilypond (unless you have more unin*
executables in your path)
