Re: considering getting a new mac that has the new M chip; does Lilypond install/run ok?
Thank you for another data point! Will probably be going to the Mini, not sure yet.

I use the MacPort version in the command line and scripts seamlessly. My work doesn’t lead me to create big scores with Lily these days, but compiling my C++ library is way faster on the Mac mini than on my 2015 MacBook Pro.

Yeah, I don't use Frescobaldi, just Lilypond.

I have been using 2.22.1 with added fonts and stuff and it works perfectly. Oh. This is the command-line version, not the GUI, but for me that -is- lilypond :-) This on a 2021 Mac Mini M1 with 16Gb Hope this helps ..mark.
Re: considering getting a new mac that has the new M chip; does Lilypond install/run ok?
Hi Matt; Thanks for your data point. My macbook pro is era 2013 and the battery is no longer working, using external power, and it is now quite slow (just over the past few weeks). I have to use an external fan and even then the heat gets so high that it slows down. I'm looking into Docker now. The last time I used Docker was shortly after it first became popular and I can't remember how to do anything :-) If I get a new Mac using the M1 chip, then I won't have to use Docker, but it will be a good brain exercise.

Re: considering getting a new mac that has the new M chip; does Lilypond install/run ok?
Hello Kenneth, I've installed LilyPong from MacPorts, along with MacTeX on my M1 MacMini. Alas, it's no faster than my 2019 iMac for compilation. But far more energy efficient, and no fans at full speed when compiling hundreds of files for PDF output. It's a wonderful computing experience. mattfong On Fri, Sep 24, 2021 at 4:08 PM Kenneth Wolcott wrote: > HI; > > I'm considering getting a new mac that has the new M chip; does > Lilypond install/run ok? > > If not, then I'll consider using a Docker container that runs Linux. > > Thanks, > Ken Wolcott > >
