Notes for source compilation and packagers (LilyPond Changes)

### 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 version 3.0.7 or newer. By default, `.scm` files are byte-compiled. If you don’t want to do that for whatever reason, add `BYTECODE=no` as an argument to `make`.
