download the ppc version, it works fine - just use a different editor - vim, emacs, textmate, lilypond-tool (jEdit) are all good- it's only the lilypond text editor which doesn't work, and to be honest you won't miss it.

Has Lilypond been fixed to work properly on OSX Leopard yet? I see all kinds of archived messages about problems with it and I have just downloaded the latest 2.11.x version and indeed it does not seem to work on first try. here is what happens now:

1 - Download lilypond for Intel OSX

2 - Decompress it, there is only one file extracted, called Lilypond. Its actually a package with much stuff found inside its contents, but I'm not at all sure how, for example, to execute musicxml2ly since its deep inside the package.

3 - If I double click on the Lilypond package, something launches and a text window comes up with the test ly code. There is no way to save this file. The menu has "Lilypond" displayed but there is no way to save, quit or do anything else. I have to use ForceQuit to kill the application.

4 - I am able to copy and paste this code into another text editor and save test.ly that way. However when I then try to drag and drop this test.ly into the Lilypond icon, the same thing happens as when I just double clicked on the icon.....it opens up a text editor with the sample ly code in it and wedges the menu so that there is no way to quit or do anything. Nothing is rendered.
