I'm always curious to try and test the latest features and bugfixes, but for distribution and sharing of lilypond sourcecode it is probably a better idea to use the stable release. I'm running linux fedora 12.I added a section about this to the Contributor's Guide a while back. Here's a link:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/concurrent-stable-and-development-versions#concurrent-stable-and-development-versions
An alternative, in case you don't compile LilyPond yourself, is to install the two versions at two different locations, for example in ~/2.12 and ~/2.13, using:
sh lilypond-2.12.3-1.linux-x86.sh --prefix=$HOME/2.12 sh lilypond-2.13.9-1.linux-x86.sh --prefix=$HOME/2.13Then, you could either call lilypond using the full path, ~/2.12/bin/lilypond or you could set the $PATH in one shell to include $HOME/2.12/bin and in another shell to include $HOME/2.13/bin (you can easily define an alias that adds the corresponding path).
