Nothing resolved about a makefile.

My solution from various helpful suggestions here and a couple of web 
sites and my own previous installation:

In .emacs.d directory I have the following init.el starting with the 
following:

(setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name 
"/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/" )) load-path))
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ily$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))

Most of my music is in .ily files included in .ly files for each 
instruments or scores.

Thank to everyone who replied,

Paul
