Hello,
This is a follow-up concerning Frescobaldi start-up problems on Mac Ventura
13.5 (I should clarify that this is an issue that only occurs when I first
start Frescobaldi after having powered-on the computer).
I upgraded to Frescobaldi 3.3.0 via MacPorts. That worked very well, but the
anomalous behavior is the same.
If I double-click a .ly file icon in the Mac Finder, I get the start-up
animation and Frescobaldi splash screen. No menus appear and the file is not
opened.
Mac system show Frescobaldi not responding.
If I go back and double-click the .ly file icon,(while Frescobaldi is running,
but not responding) the file opens in the usual Frescobaldi window-set, along
with the menus at the top of the screen. However, everything is inoperative,
and still shows Not Responding in Mac system activity monitor.
There is no response when clicking menus, and I can not select and edit the
code. I must force quit.
I tried waiting up to ten minutes, so see if it was just busy or slow.
At this point, I can start Frescobaldi from the app icon and then double-click
a .ly file-icon, and everything runs properly. I can quit and start again
without problems, until I power-off the computer.
Thanks to everyone for recommending the upgrade. I am very glad to have the new
version of Frescobaldi. The start-up issue is only a nuisance but I enjoy this
program so much, I worry a bit when there are odd problems like this.
Would the system report/program-dump be of any use? I can send a zip file.
Thanks again!

Thank you for describing the problem precisely.

Hello,
I usually start work by double-clicking on a Lilypond-file Icon (.ly ) in a
finder window. The Apple OS shows the opening-file animation, and starts
Frescobaldi.
Frescobali goes through start up with Splash-Screen, and the full Frescobaldi
menu appears, but no windows. The selected file does not actually open.
At that point, I can go back to the finder and double-click again. The selected
file then opens, and I can work. (Once Frescobaldi is running properly, I can
also open files from the Recent-Files menu). I never use the Open-File menu
choice in Frescobaldi.
After a recent Apple System upgrade, Frescobaldi now stalls completely during
start-up. (Flash-screen, but no menus, no windows). The Apple system monitor
shows that it is unresponsive and I must force-quit.
After I force-quit, I can start Frescobadli again (either double-click a file
or click the App Icon) and it runs as normal.
I Re-Installed Frescobaldi. I followed the MacPorts Install link on the
Frescobaldi website download page. I would normally have used the prebuilt Mac
OS installer option, but there is a message saying that some features were not
available via that route.
The MacPorts install ran without any error messages, but I am not sure if I was
doing a fresh install or an upgrade to a newer version. In any case there has
been no change with running Frescobaldi.
Well, according to the information at the bottom, the version you are running
Frescobaldi 3.1.3, but according
tohttps://ports.macports.org/port/frescobaldi/the version currently packaged in
MacPorts is Frescobaldi 3.3.0.That means that the version you are running is
actually not the one MacPorts installed but an older version that is still
around. It also says: “installation kind: standalone .app bundle” which
confirms this.
I'd first remove that Frescobaldi app (probably "move to trash" in the
Applications directory? my days of using macOS are long ago) then maybe try to
reinstall the MacPorts app. I don't know whether MacPorts is actually going to
install it to /Applications (CCing Davide who should know more).
I came rather late to Frescobaldi. I had been using Lilypond (starting about
ten years ago) on it's own. At that time, I could start Lilypond from the Mac
Finder, and it would open with a simple text editor and some menu choices.
Output was sent to a PDF viewer.
Is it the case that Lilypond no longer works as a stand-alone app?
Yes, indeed. That app was totally inferior in every way to Frescobaldi or even
other editors, and was causing trouble for us developers (especially with the
switch to 64-bit architectures).
I am quite satisfied to use Fresobaldi. I had tried to open Lilypond in order
to double-check what version it was.
All the files I work with have \version statements "2.20.0" but Update.ly
stopped working quite some time ago.
Do you mean convert-ly?
(Should I make further inquiry about this?)
Yes.
Would you recommend downloading the latest Lilypond?
Changing LilyPond won't help. You have a Frescobaldi problem, not a LilyPond
problem.
Regards,Jean
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
