Re: 2.13.3 docs emacs mode documentation AU 2.2.1 out of date?

[David Stocker]

You can always

sudo chown -hR username .emacs.d

In any case, creating the directory .emacs.d and making a new init.el 
inside it shouldn't foul anything up. Then you could proceed with making 
your init.el point to lilypond-mode when you want to use it. Also, if 
you open up Emacs and start working with files, it might automatically 
make you a new auto-save-list (and a new .emacs.d for that matter).

David
