Hello Jonas Thanks for your prompt reply.
I've looked at the link you provided. Sorry for the following questions, but this stuff is outside my field of competence. I think I don't want source code. I don't want to compile a binary. Do I download a "package?" If yes, which package? "lilypond-2.23.6-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz" ?? What is the "generic package" lilypond-2-23.6.tar.gz ? Once I know what to download, I'll give it try. Much appreciated.
