No problem, I was just pointing out the reasons why Guile 1.8.8 was not approved by the homebrew core. I even believe this will help advance Guile 2 compatibility, and certainly the Lilypond development community will pick up on any bugs.
> To follow up on Jeans remarks: Maybe (if it's not already the case) it would be a good idea if your LilyPond version would show a message regarding Guile 2 on startup We did something similar when we build TeXLive for homebrew, showing a message that it's a Homebrew distribution (something like TeXLive 2021/Homebrew). But TeXLive has a way to do this without touching the source code. I'm going to check Lilypond's build documentation if it's possible to do something like this.
