to fetch it is to rightclick on the link and select
Copy Link Location
Then, at the commandline, type wget <space> and paste the link.
wget http://lilypond.org/downloads/binaries/linux-64/lilypond-2. 19.81-1.linux-64.sh
If the link has spaces in it, enclose it in "".
What's the benefit? If the download is interrupted and you have to
repeat it, make sure you're in the same directory and, when you
restart it, it'll will carry on from where it got up to.
The LilyPond binary is marginal, but the documentation tarball is huge.
Cheers,
David.
