That's really useful, and I'll remember that.

I don't use the admin account on my computer, so consequently the  
PATH is the default, and in my admin account, lilypond isn't found.  
Unless you have ghosts in the machine, the path to the lilypond  
binary must be defined in some place that bash looks for binaries,  
otherwise the computer can't find it.

All in all, I'm glad it's all working for you as expected.
