Personally, since I don't pay s**t for IDEs, I work most efficiently with
quite large orchestral scores using Lilypond, vi(1), sed(1), Bourne shell
and GNU make (and a PDF viewer). Some day I intend to share my "scripts"
and configurations somehow, but as usual they need to stablize a bit. I
suppose Lilypond itself should be easier (than Frescobaldi) to keep working
in the MacOS environment, as long as there is at least one user who could
imagine paying with her time to test, but in my experience it is quite hard
to get MacOS users well accustomed to working in the terminal. That is why
I hope to be able to recommend Frescobaldi, which I think is quite a decent
IDE for this task, compared to most of the others.

Vielen Dank, David Kastrup, for all your hard work with an absolutely
excellent software! I wish I could somehow find the time needed to
contribute better.
