Dear Lilypond team, continuing from 1 Sept 17:43hrs. (similar problems to Mark
Stephen Mrotek though he is Windows.)
I successfully used version 2.20.0 on my MacBook Air M2 2022, macOS
13.4.1 from August 2022 till July 2023. Now I cannot, and I have failed (for a
month) to overcome the problem. I presumed it hit a bug, or developed a
mutation. I deleated it and tried to re-extracte the zip.
I want to use my current MacBook Air M2 2022, macOS 13.4.1. I picked up
the idea somewhere that the 64-bit M2 processor requires a certain version of
lilypond, but I find that hard to confirm on the web. ? Is it true?
I have been using various versions of lilipond for 13 years (versions:
2.12.3, 2.18.2-1, 2.20.0, and now 2.24.1).
I do not want to use Frescobaldi. When I unzip 2.24.1 I find it does not
contain a simple exe file with lilypond icon. It looks as though the package is
designed to work with Frescobaldi and not on its own. Is that true. I do not
want to use Frescobaldi. Are there instructions for using 2.24 WITHOUT
Frescobaldi.
I re-extracting the lilypond-2.20.0-darwin-64.tar that I downloaded last year.
That gave an error signal.
I downloaded lilypond-2.20.0-1.darwin-x86.tar.bz2, from Index of
/download/binaries/darwin-x86
<http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/darwin-x86/?C=N;O=D> to see if that
worked as my previous build 20200311175017. It did not. Perhaps because it is
for Windows, while I am macOS. There was a 'Stop' sign (white anulus and bar)
over the icon and does not work. Should this be explained?
Last year I downloaded MacPorts-2.7.2-12-Moneteray.pkg, but I have no idea why,
nor what it does, nor if I used it.
