These work fine for me. They don't make much in the way of
documentation (which is a good thing, AFAIAC), but these two commands
install lilypond for me perfectly well from whatever git sends me.

Hmm. I'm certainly not clever (especially about these things) but I
went to my top level directory, pull the latest git, and typed

make && sudo make install && sudo make info-install 

When it finished I went to the lilypond node in emacs info and found
perfectly good images in perfectly useable docs. Maybe cleverness is
overrated. My point is that the recipe worked for me as advertised
with no problems whatsoever.
