But for compiling LilyPond you'll need to install a significant set of dependencies (tex, metafont, bison, flex etc.). I think it is reasonable for us to require bash as well. also, https://www.golem.de/news/apple-macos-wechselt-von-bash-auf-zsh-als-standard-shell-1906-141714.html suggests that OSX actually uses bash. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanw...@gmail.com - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
