Dear developers, We have been working the last few days on homemade formulas for TeXLive ( https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/83738) and Lilypond ( https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull / 85024) . The Lilypond formula relies on the TeXLive formula to build, which is practically ready to be merged.
With that, Lilypond 2.22 will have binary distributions for macOS Catalina or higher, with x86_64 (Intel) or arm64 (M1) processors, available with command `brew install lilypond`. The problem is that homebrew core maintainers do not agree to use the old and obsolete Guile 1.8 to build and run Lilypond, so the version we are using in the formula is 2.2 (which exists in homebrew). I know guile 2 is not officially supported by Lilypond, but we did a lot of testing and compiled a lot of scores, with no errors. I just noticed that compilation time is a little slow with Guile 2. Therefore, I would like your opinion if we can continue with Guile 2, even if this homebrew distribution is not an official distribution, or if you could demonstrate, with examples, known issues in compiling sheet music with Guile 2. Thanks! -- --- Jefferson dos Santos Felix
