144 the generic packages, but they may be older. If you wish to use
145 our generic packages, please uninstall the official version from
146 your system using the normal package manager for your distribution.

325 The most convenient way to run lilypond scripts is by setting up
326 @qq{helper} scripts of your own.
331 Create a directory to store these scripts,
340 Create a file called @command{lilypond} which contains
342 @divClass{h-scroll-auto}
344 exec @var{DIR}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@@"
348 @warning{@var{DIR} will generally be @code{/Applications/}}
352 Create similar files @command{lilypond-book},
353 @command{convert-ly}, and any other scripts you wish to use, by
354 replacing the @command{bin/lilypond} with @command{bin/convert-ly}
355 (or other program name).
359 Make the file executable,
367 Now, add this directory to your path. Modify (or create) a file
368 called @code{.profile} in your home directory such that it
372 export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
375 This file should end with a blank line.
380 @subsubheading Invoking individual scripts
382 The scripts --- such as @command{lilypond-book}, @command{convert-ly},
383 @command{abc2ly}, and even @command{lilypond} itself --- are included
384 inside the @code{.app} file for MacOS@tie{}X.
386 Scripts can also be run from the command line by invoking them
389 @divClass{h-scroll-auto}
391 @var{path/to}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond
395 The same is true for all other scripts in that directory, such as
396 @command{lilypond-book} and @command{convert-ly}.
