Hi Tom Cato and everyone, My apologies to you all...
I have realized what the problem is, and it's a pretty dumb mistake on my part. The reason Solfege has been working so well for me is that I've had my ~/.solfegerc file left over from way back when I had Solfege installed via Fink, and it had the following crucial variables set: [sound] type=external-midiplayer midi_player=/opt/local/bin/qtplay wav_player=/usr/bin/afplay (Actually, it was pointing to slightly different players, but no matter.) So I have two questions: 1) Obviously a MIDI player is critical, and a WAV player is needed for Intonation to work. How do I tell solfege, while I'm configuring or building it, that I want to use an external MIDI player and where to find my MIDI and WAV players? (MacPorts ports, I think, aren't supposed to write outside the MacPorts sandbox during installation, so I don't think I can have the port create ~/.solfegerc even if I knew how to do that.) 2) Right now I have Solfege running, and I started it while a simple four-line .solfegerc file existed, consisting of the four lines above. That means it does not know where my MP3 or OGG players are, nor where my Converters (WAV to OGG, etc.) are. But I can't find anything in Solfege that doesn't work. Are these other external programs really needed for anything? Sorry to raise false hopes with the MacPorts thing, but I think once I get these questions answered, the MacPorts thing will really work. Even now, of course, people can just go into preferences and get things working, but it ought to be easier than that. Thanks very much for any help! --Allen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Solfege-devel mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe", or visit https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/solfege-devel
