Hi Valentin,
I have macported Frescobaldi and started to play with it.
I don’t find it very explicit for the errors, and while it complains there are
errors it still displays the result (more or less). The really positive point
is indeed to show the notes between the pdf and the .ly. It has also the
advantage to not duplicate the pdf file like Lily does each time one compiles.
One has quickly 10 or 20 copies of the same file opened in Preview…
Unlike Latex editors (texstudio, or texshop e.g.), it does not have the list of
reserved words/commands in lateral menus to retrieve quickly something you
don’t remember. But I guess there are not so many things to remember at the end
though I find some combinations a bit tricky.
I met another problem which is that Lily forces chords to have the same
duration for all notes. Maybe it is because I have not read the advanced manual
yet.
From what I’ve learned until now, I tried to guess a way out like : < c2 {e4
r}> but it does not work. It is possible ? It is very common to have notes of
different durations running in parallel in the same staff.
Best
Laurent
PS: Thanks for the file.
