I was going to ask if the jdk and the jde can interfere with each other, 
but I see from your comments that, at least if I use Oracle's version, 
they don't. I finally switch machine this weekend. I got all of the 
programs I need installed and was ready to go. Turns out I need the jre 
for LibreOffice, since I have a macro. I went to Synaptic and installed 
default-jre, 2:1.1-68ubuntu1~18.04.1. That fixed LibreOffice. I'm going 
to try audiveris for OMR. It want's Java Development Kit (JDK) 
<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html>: 
version 7 or 8 (preferred), but not 9 or 10 yet. Audiveris 5.1 can run 
on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Will I run into trouble trying 
to install the jdk with an existing jre? Or should I uninstall the 
existing jre and then install the jdk?
