Hi Stefan. I remember having to make my version of Python 3 (3.6 I think) the 
system default (yours is 2.7) for abjad to work. I also remember having to 
install some things as root for it to work (you have a “Permission Denied” 
somewhere...). I read somewhere it’s not recommendable to use root with pip, 
but it worked with no discernible side effects.

Cheers,
Martín.
