I have recently begun using LilyPond on my new Mac Pro (after having successfully completed a number of small .ly projects on my PC laptop). I have done the following, but cannot get my .ly files to Typeset/compile at all:
0) I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.7 on a brand new Mac Pro. 1.0) I downloaded the most recent version of TexShop (2.26 from http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.zip). 1.1) I downloaded lilypond-2.12.2-1.darwin-x86.tar.bz2.tar from http://ivo.bouwmans.name/lilypondleopard/ and double-clicked it to install. 2) I dragged the LilyPond app to my Applications folder 3) I created the LilyPond.engine file and put it in the ~/TexShop/Engines folder as instructed. I also made it executable (in Terminal) with chmod +x LilyPond.engine. The .engine file contains the following: #!/bin/tcsh set path= ($path /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin) lilypond --pdf "$1" 4) I opened a simple, existing .ly file I'd ported from my PC laptop in TexShop and chose LilyPond from the Engines drop-down. 5) I clicked the Typeset button. After doing the above, a separate "console" window opened up (in TexShop) with "GoTo", "Abort" and "Trash Aux Files" buttons, as well as two text boxes: "Tex Messages" and "Tex Input". Nothing else happened. No PDF, no MIDI files opened... Also, when Lilypond opened, there was a single LilyPond menu with no items and the only way I was able to close the app was via Force Quit. Any help would be much appreciated!
