Of course you are right. Sorry for the noise...
Just made a simple test and:

Parsing...
Interpreting music...
Preprocessing graphical objects...
fatal error: cannot find font: `lilyjazz-11'

I haven't used alternative music fonts for a while and I was misled by 
my computer having music fonts in the ~/.fonts directory. I forgot I 
had to add the symlinks to the new lilypond version.

By the way, what's wrong with this?

$ sudo python install-lily-fonts -l -d /home/fede/.fonts -t 
/usr/share/lilypond
Script running locally.

Determined font directory:
 /home/fede/.fonts
Error condition:
No LilyPond installation found at or in
 /usr/share/lilypond.
Abort script.

I've tried also /usr/share/lilypond/2.19.62 and 
/usr/share/lilypond/2.19.62/fonts, but same error.

$ tree -L 2 /usr/share/lilypond
/usr/share/lilypond
└── 2.19.62
