Something is a little "off" with your system, because it should handle those files without any questions or problems. I'm not smart enough to figure out what the problem is. It's likely very minor.

Start the Terminal Type the following and make sure to type a space after the letter f: tar -xjf Then drag your downloaded Lilypond installer file into the Terminal window (its name will appear after what you already typed) and then hit the Return key. Wait a minute for it to finish, and the Lilypond program should appear in your home folder (the one with your name on it, that is). Drag the new green Lilypond icon into Applications.

Yes I see two choices, 1st Stuffit Expander, which doesn't open the downloaded file, and 2nd choice is Other, which wants me to select something from the Finder Menu. First look around wherever this 2.11.23-1.darwin-ppc.tar.bz2.tar is kept, and see if there is now a Lilypond icon close by. If not, and if Stuffit Expander won't open the file you've got (and BOMArchiveHelper [or similar name, I forget] is not one of the choices) I would suggest you download Lilypond over again. All that happens when this process goes right, is that the ".tar" file gets uncompressed, and the Lilypond program is left sitting there ready for you to drag into your Applications folder. There is no installer program at all. David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: OS install problem
When I try to install 2.11.23-1.darwin-ppc.tar.bz2.tar on my Mac running OS X 10.3.9 I am told no default application is specified and I am asked to choose an application. I have no idea what to do. Please advise. If you control-click on 2.11.23-1.darwin-ppc.tar.bz2.tar, and go to the "Open with..." item second from the top, do you see any choices there?
