Re: ubuntu lyx lilypond latex

[Josiah Boothby]

When I experimented with this, it seemed that LyX required a
sufficiently recent minimum version of Lilypond. If the version of
Ubuntu you're using has an outdated version of Lilypond, LyX won't use
it.

Make sure you have lilypond version 2.14.x or greater as well as Lyx 2.0.x.
