Eventually legacy system support gets broken in every project. PPC-based Mac users (of which I am one, we have three PPC based Macs that continue to run fine) mostly can update to 10.5. For 10.4 users, I would recommend identifying the most recent version of Lilypond that will run on that platform and identifying it on the Web site. This is a standard practice. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
