Is there a way to install two versions of Lilypond on one computer (Linux, preferably system-wide), without running into problems? I tend to think that fonts, and generally the whole LaTeX interaction could be a problem. Is that so?
I think that the easiest way (the one I use) is to install lilypond in some special directory. Then you could refer to the specific lilypond with a symlink.
I.e. install lily 1.6 in /usr/lilypond_1_6 and 2.0 in /usr/lilypond_2_0.Then make a symlink from /usr/lilypond_1_6 to /usr/lilypond and put /usr/lilypond in your path. Whenever you want switch to 2.0 just change the symlink. This way you have no problems with fonts because the fonts get created locally in the lilypond-dir. The drawback, ofcourse, is that you cannot run the two versions simultainously.
