Hi, I'd like to ask for some help from the Mac users out there, specifically those running version 10.4 of Mac OS X. You might have seen David Kastrup's post earlier this month about a bug in Lilypond that is a roadblock for the next major release of Lilypond which will be version 2.16.0.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-02/msg00107.html Since then a candidate fix has been developed and it is included in the latest development release of Lilypond, version 2.15.30. The bug squad would urgently like to verify that the issue is fixed but we don't have access to a Mac running Mac OS X 10.4. If you have a suitable machine you can help by downloading Lilypond 2.15.30 and running it on your Mac, as follows: a) Download Lilypond 2.15.30. See [2] b) Double click the app to run it. c) Confirm that the Lilypond user interface appears as expected d) Job done! Let us know by replying to this email or posting to the user or bugs mailing lists. [3] If you need further guidance on how to perform any of these steps please reply to this email or contact the team via the mailing lists. Alternatively, if you have a copy of Mac OS X 10.4 that you are no longer using would you consider donating it to the Lilypond team? If so, please get in touch, as I have suitable hardware on hand. Cheers, Colin.
