Re: Mac testers needed for Frescobaldi! (again)
This DMG was very very very helpful to me and seems to be working great. I do not want to install HomeBrew nor MacPorts on my mac, and the task of manually installing from all the sources and dependencies was daunting to say the least. This DMG version worked out of the box really well so thank you so much and just let me say, please make sure this ends up on some kind of official place and kept up to date, rather then just through this dropbox beta test. It works great! Is this link on this thread the most up to date version BTW? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Mac-testers-needed-for-Frescobaldi-again-tp163407p168798.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Mac testers needed for Frescobaldi! (again)
Davide, First, much thanks for your very patient responses to my SIP API errors with the Port version of Frescobaldi. I'm happy to report that the app bundle, thus far, works flawlessly so no further need for the Port install of Frescobaldi. I've opened some fairly hairy scores which use book structure and all works as expected. I have not, yet, tested the conversion apps. But for now all is working well.

During the last days I was able to fix these problems (at least on my machine). Hello Davide, I did a bit of testing with this on a relatively clean 10.9.3 machine. By clean, I mean that the machine has never had MacPorts or Homebrew installed on it. So your standalone app is truly standing alone. MIDI playback seems to be working fine. I tested using SimpleSynth. I tried convert-ly once and it ran without error, although there was nothing to convert and it said The document has not been changed. I imported a MusicXML file and it did not produce any errors. Previously, I think it was hardcoded to look for something in /opt/local (MacPorts) and was throwing an error when it couldn't find it. So, success according to my experience. Thanks for your efforts. Regards, -- Jeff ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Davide, Know I'm late to this party, but I cannot run this application. My 10.6.8 MacOSX (a *old* MacBook which cannot be upgraded to a newer MacOSX version) tells me, for the application as you have compiled it: You can’t open the application “Frescobaldi.app” because it’s not supported on this type of Mac.

2014-05-19 15:24 GMT+02:00 Marnen Laibow-Koser mar...@marnen.org: Hear, hear! Is the standalone Mac app ready for real use yet? I thought it wasn't. It is not, indeed. The main problems are: - PortMIDI is not included in the bundle, and even if it is included (with the appropriate option of py2app) Frescobaldi cannot see the MIDI ports provided by SimpleSynth or FluidSynth; - it is currently impossible to use convert-ly from the application bundle: the error I get is different from the one of Tim, and I don't have a confirmed diagnosis yet, but I suspect that they both are due to the wrong Python interpreter being invoked. Actually, apart from these problems, the application bundle is quite usable. I can't recommend it yet, but I really appreciate people testing it in everyday use. Best wishes.

Hello Davide, I’ve installed 2.0.16 from the dmg, works fine. One point would be nice to have : on Mac, Cmd-E copies the current selection to the find dialog, very handy since Cmd-F easily follows. Do you thing we could have this in Fresco? JM ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

You should try to uninstall Frescobaldi, Poppler and Qt and then reinstall Frescobaldi: this solved the problem for a user (see the messages of April 3 in this thread in the mailing list of Frescobaldi: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/frescobaldi/hXK3qS-_jsw). Anyway, I'm not a Homebrew expert: you should ask Marnen about this problem (I'll put him in cc: in this message).

Dear FrescobaldiLilyPondMac users, as some of you may know, I'm trying to make Frescobaldi more Mac-friendly, by packaging it as a native application bundle inside a standard DMG disk image.

[2] Anyway, please be aware that this application bundle is considered experimental and is built from a development version of Frescobaldi, so it isn't suitable for everyday use: after the tests I advise you to delete the application bundle and wait for the next release. [3] Best wishes. Davide [1] My machine runs 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and I currently have only occasional access to a 10.8 (Mountain Lion) machine. [2] Actually, if your usual version of Frescobaldi is older than October 2013, your settings will become inaccessible from that version, while they will still be accessible from versions of the program newer than that date. But if you're running such an old version, you should seriously consider updating to a newer one: Frescobaldi has improved a whole lot in the last months! [3] To avoid messing with your current setup (except for the settings changes) and forgetting to delete the application bundle after the test, you can run the application directly from the disk image, without copying it to the /Applications directory. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I'll try to test it, too, but I have been using Frescobaldi on Mavericks 10.9 since Februrary or March, with little trouble. Other than reportable bugs, it sometimes warns me of “other systems trying to change the file, though it's only itself doing so, and when I quit, it sometimes crashes, but after I'm done with it. I have no recollection of the steps I went through to get it working, but I imagine I simply followed the steps and Googled the error solutions as they arose. Again, I'll take some time to test it.
