MacOS instalation

I installed Lilypond 2.24.4 on my new MacBook Air, currently running OS 14.7.1 (Sonoma). Previously, updating Lilypond on the Mac tended to break many things, and I was still running 2.19.x as I was putting off the update. David Kastrup’s comment to me a week or so ago about my antediluvian in

Re: frescobaldi macports broken after update

Updating proceeded normally and double-clicking a .ly file in the Finder launches Frescobaldi and loads the file, so that bug seems squashed. Unfortunately now I no longer have the side-by-side view of the .ly file and the .pdf file. I can’t for the life of me figure out how that happened or h

Re: Alternative notation for guitar 7th chords

The easiest thing is using the pop-chords.ly alternatives to the default chordname style, using \include. I think it is available in the snippet repository. Or you can write your own chordname exceptions, the procedure for which should be in the Notation reference. > On Dec 21, 2013, at 8:4
