Hi Jonas; As an aside, I tried executing all of the items in the bin directory with '--help' to see if they would execute ok.
After getting past all of the mac malware warnings about guile, shell, python, etc; I end up with this: ================================== ./lilypond-invoke-editor --help lilypond-invoke-editor (GNU LilyPond) 2.23.9 Backtrace: 7 (primitive-load "/Users/kwolcott/Downloads/lilypond-2.2…") In ice-9/eval.scm: 293:34 6 (_ #(#(#<directory (guile-user) 108d4b140>) ("./..…" …))) 619:8 5 (_ #(#(#(#(#<directory (guile-user) 108d4b140>) #) #) #)) 619:8 4 (_ #(#(#(#(#<directory (guile-user) 108d4b140>) #) #) #)) 159:9 3 (_ #(#(#<directory (guile-user) 108d4b140>) #<output:…>)) 182:19 2 (proc #(#(#<directory (guile-user) 108d4b140>) #<outp…>)) 142:16 1 (compile-top-call _ (7 .

Everything else seems to work (well, with '--help', anyway :-) Thanks, Ken On Sat, May 21, 2022 at 10:50 AM Kenneth Wolcott <kennethwolc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Jonas; > > The 'gs' executable could not be verified as safe from malware. > > I was able to get the mac to accept 'gs' as safe. > > It now works. > > Thanks, > Ken > > > On Sat, May 21, 2022 at 10:31 AM Jonas Hahnfeld <hah...@hahnjo.de> wrote: > > > > On Sat, 2022-05-21 at 10:29 -0700, Kenneth Wolcott wrote: > > > Hi Jonas; > > > > > > I use lilypond from the command line. > > > > > > How do I invoke the 2.23.9 lilypond executable from the command > > > line instead of using the mouse to context (right-click) from the > > > Finder? > > > > You just use the full path to it, as for any command line tool. > > Assuming you extracted the archive into ~/Downloads/, that would be > > ~/Downloads/lilypond-2.23.9/bin/lilypond <arguments>. > > > > Jonas
