Notes for source compilation and packagers

This section is aimed at enthusiasts compiling LilyPond from source and packagers preparing LilyPond for distribution. If you are not part of either group, you can skip over this section.

• LilyPond now requires Guile 3.0.7. As before, it is still strongly recommended to compile the .scm files into bytecode by first running make bytecode during compilation and then make install-bytecode in addition to make install.
