Well, myself: The answer is to be found in line 20 -21 of convert-ly,
further down in the other python scripts. The hard-coded version number
was not updated from 2.15.2 to 2.15.3 :-)

There is no problem having the installation of lilypond-dev versions in
/usr/local/. I have the latest FontForge versions there too. Frescobaldi
finds it all right. I don't run LilyPond as root, only installs it. FWIW
my first such installation was from SVN sources, not git, and long
before there was any lily-git.tcl script.

Being a 68-year-old amateur choir singer still working full-time,
neither a programmer nor a musician, I regrettably must abstain from
other titles than Bug-stumbler... :)
