Hi Stefan,

If you have LilyPond installed in Linux, the necessary content for
~/.vim/filetype.vim and ~/.vimrc is not installed by default.  You
have to add it yourself.

Just add the if exists(...) stuff to ~/.vim/filetype.vim, or create
~/.vim/filetype.vim with this content if the file does not exist.
Then add the following line to ~/.vimrc

set runtimepath+=~/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/vim/

If that doesn't work, find out where this "vim" directory is located,
and change the path accordingly.

Hope this helps,

Patrick
