It's not that.  The question is "where are the predefined files
installed?".  Or, to give a concrete example, "where can I find
ly/property-init.ly ?"   Not the one in the developer git
repository, but when I type "lilypond foo.ly", precisely which
ly/property-init.ly is used?

I personally know that on most linux computers, the answer is
something like
/usr/local/lilypond/current/ly/property-init.ly
although on my personal computer it's
$HOME/.usr/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/ly/property-init.ly
on OSX it's inside the app bundle.  No clue where it is on
windows, but presumably the blurb in the Learning Manual states
it.


The problem is that we shouldn't have any info in Learning that
isn't repeated elsewhere.

Nah, that's info for developers, not users.  What I have in my git
repo has no influence on what the GUB-install lilypond binary
does.
