What I would also encourage you to do is to send an email to Wilbert or add your suggestions to Frescobaldi's own tracker to maybe say why it isn't a good choice. https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues As an all-in-one editor for LilyPond it really is nice (and cross-platform) and Wilbert is very responsive. Is there any particular reason that your student cannot 'keep it simple' and use a text editor or lilypad that comes with a mac (which is very simple but does the job)? You would have 3 windows (editor, log and Preview.app for output) but I am not sure (not being blind) how much more cumbersome that is that an all in one IDE that has multiple windows. On Windows I just use notepad++ James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
