Well, "the distros" have woken up already, but 14.04 is a longtime
support version.  It's worth checking the "backports" repository (no
idea whether this would help with LilyPond, and Remy is not an admin
anyway but if it's just a matter of adding "backports" to the apt
sources, the real admin might be sympathetic to doing that).

But LilyPond's downloads indeed can be installed with user privileges,
and one can also compile and install into user-serviceable areas from
Git by configuring with an appropriate setting of --prefix.

For the few non-system applications that one is a reasonably thorough
user of, that effort may be a reasonable investment.
