Maybe we should add MacOS too as a link and not replicate the documentation here?

Plus there is another problem: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/

@pikurasa do you think we need to maintain the screen shots of the Mac download process in our README? Is it not enough (and easier to maintain) a link to the upstream instructions?

I don't think we need screenshots, and we should probably direct everyone to https://lilypond.org/download.html, regardless of OS. The issue with the links I see in this PR is that they're specific to a particular version of Lilypond, so we'll fall behind the most recent version at some point in the future.

Alternatively, you might restructure the language to say "Lilypond may be downloaded for Windows, Mac, and GNU/Linux. Complete instructions are published on their website: I recommend pointing here instead: https://lilypond.org/download.html
