Ok, I've undone it.

I think I have this figured out, too. My problem is that I know just
enough about TeX stuff to really cock things up. I've now got this line
in texmf.cnf:
TEXMF =
{!!$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN,{/usr/local/share/lilypond/1.7.28}}
If I do
echo $TEXMF
I get a blank line and then I'm at the # prompt.
At least I think I understand the TEXMF thing now. This makes teTeX
look at the place where 'make install' put all the Lily stuff. When the
version changes it is simply a matter of changing the version number in
texmf.cnf (have I got that right?). That makes it a simple matter to
run an older version, too, right? When a change is made in texmf.cnf
what command is then run to update it? When font things are added or a
package is installed I do 'texhash'. Is that the thing to do?
It seems to be working now.
