I've often wondered why, even though I have a version of LilyPond 
installed from repository (therefore located in /usr/bin), when I 
install a package of a new version that version becomes the default in 
the environment.

For example now:
address@hidden:~$ which lilypond
/home/fede/bin/lilypond

What kind of trick is this?
Usually I have to create symlinks, I'm not used to this automatic setting.
I'm just curious...

Cheers,
Federico
