Hi Keizen,

~home/bin/lilypond or /home/bin/lilypond doesn't look right to me

I would expect something like ~/bin/lilypond or /home/${USER}/bin/lilypond

In a terminal what does

        which lilypond

return? And what did you expect it to return?

And what do you get if you type

        echo $HOME

Also check files like .bashrc and .bash_profile in you HOME directory.

I am talking Linux (Fedora) here, you did not mention what OS you use.
