Hi all, There are various alternatives around at least for Linux users, but there will certainly be different ones available for the Mac users as well. And who knows: maybe Frescobaldi will survive after all. And if it may stop working one day, it is good to know that at least you are not completely left in the wild.
I have checked out the following ones for Linux: 1. Spontini (not so known maybe, but definitely worth a try) 2. Kate/Okular as a "team" with one-way point-and-click from Okular to Kate 3. Visual Studio Code with its LilyPond plugins/extensions All three are not exactly like Frescobaldi, but can certainly amply be adapted to individual needs into a good workspace. And then, of course, there is also lilypond-book, which I personally find a bit complicated - at least when you come from Frescobaldi. Steeper learning curve, but not impossible if you are determined and open to something new. So: don't panic (do not forget the towel either) and let us keep using Frescobaldi and enjoy as long as it will exist...
