I only found mftrace 1.1.2 :-(

Emacs understands ~ to mean home directory.

I played around for ages and eventually gave up trying to add to the
load path, putting the lilypond files in the place emacs wanted them (in
my case, /usr/share/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/ with lilypond-init.el
in ./site-start.d) I believe there is an equivalent /usr/share/emacs/...
too.

I also went and byte-compiled the files too (invoked byte-compile-file
on each one, running xemacs as root).

Incidentally, I found that invoking lilypond from within xemacs created
different (broken-font) output to invoking lilypond from the shell that
started xemacs. I didn't investigate...
