The current version of Anaconda (1.8.0) does not support "conda pip" commands. Please let me know if you want me to add documentation for installation with Anaconda (1.8.0) and I will file a PR. Ultimately, it would be helpful to have music21 available through conda.

ERROR:
The "conda pip" command has been removed from conda (as of version 1.8) for
the following reasons:

• users get the wrong impression that you must use conda pip (instead
  of simply pip) when using Anaconda
• there should only be one preferred way to build packages, and that is
  the conda build command
• the command did too many things at once, i.e. build a package and
  then also install it
• the command is Python centric, whereas conda (from a package management
  perspective) is Python agnostic
• packages created with conda pip are not robust, i.e. they will maybe
  not work on other people's systems

In short:

• use "conda build" if you want to build a conda package
• use "conda install" if you want to install something
• use "pip" if you want to install something that is on PyPI for which there
  isn't a conda package.

Left a PR on this.

Warmly,

Great! See the PR for some instructions on the IPYNB documentation system (the .rst file is automatically generated). But all merged and good.

Cool. I didn't realize that the IPYNB doc system auto generates .rst. Nice to know. Thanks for doing the cleanup on the PR. Please feel free in the future to ask me to do it. I'm happy to pitch in as time permits :-)
