You don't (need sudo) if you're content to install LilyPond locally for 
your user only. (Also you don't need to unpack them first: The files you 
download _are_ the shell scripts.)

For example, I have a folder ~/lilypond-versions in my home directory. 
If a new release comes out, I just do

mkdir ~/lilypond-versions/2.23.bla/
sh lilypond-blabla.sh --prefix /home/lukas/lilypond-versions/2.23.bla

And @Stefan: If you're using Frescobaldi, that program is perfectly 
equipped to deal with multiple versions of LilyPond. Just add the newly 
installed package in the LilyPond settings of Frescobaldi by telling 
Frescobaldi where to find the "lilypond" binary file. (It's in the bin/ 
subfolder of the folder you gave as --prefix.)
