yup, you both got it in one. That was exactly what I had done, it all works 
beautifully now

I know what  I must have done, its a combination of not reading the 
INSTALL.txt closely enough, and using the filename completion features of 
bash to save time, which would have led me to copying the wrong file across 
- the documentation is clear enough.

Might be worth adding a comment into the lilypond-profile.sh file to the 
effect of "if this is in your /etc directory, you've copied the wrong file" 
? - just a thought...

thanks for your help
