Dear Lilypond community,

So I guess my questions are this: Would I be better off, using Lilypond
and Frescobaldi on a Windows machine? My hope is: For Windows, you get
some .exe files that already contain everything. No need to check what
python or whatever needs to be installed. Also, in particular in case of
Frescobaldi, sometimes the available Windows versions were of higher
version number that the available Mac version.
BTW, I'm using MacOS 15.5 on an iMac.
Best,
Robert
What about running Frescobaldi+Lilypond in a Linux VM on your Mac, or in
a Docker container? That way you should never need to upgrade again. If
you change your machine just copy the VM or the container to the new
environment. If you do want to try an upgrade,you do it in a brand new
VM or container and leave your working version untouched.
