when will Lilypond work with Lion OSX?

2012-08-08 Thread Zae Munn
I am teaching a Music and Digital Media class beginning next January and would
like to spend some time looking at alternatives to Finale. I would like to
include Lilypond in this, but I see that it is not yet compatible with Lion.  Do
you have an idea when this might happen?

Any problems you foresee in downloading it (once Lion compatible) to music lab
computers?

Thanks, Zae Munn

Hello,

While the interface (the text editor GUI) of Lilypond doesn't work with
Lion using the last stable version, the command line works without problem.
In that way, if you plan to use it thru a dedicated text editor (jEdit for
instance), it will work without a problem because theses editors (jEdit,
TextWrangler, Frescobaldi, TeXShop etc.) call the command line program in
the background.

The other option would be to wait for the next stable version that works
with Lion and Mountain Lion (last development version work without problem).
It's a matter of weeks, I should say.

Hope this helps,

Philippe

The GUI of the unstable version works. I just tried 2.15.41.

Normally I run lilypond from Terminal, via a script, using a text editor to 
create the text. Any text editor will work (I use Xcode), but some are able to 
display lilypond syntax - there have been some discussions about this.
