Dear Derek,
I noticed today, while I was reading this thread on Nabble, that the
message you sent to the list on 2013/08/20 was cut at the first line
(see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-08/msg00508.html
and 
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/frescobaldi-on-mac-td139401i40.html#a149513).

This is the part that was cut away:

I'll give an example.

Let's suppose that your username is derek, that your home directory
(~) is /Users/derek and that you want to keep my repository in a
subdirectory of ~/github (that you have already created).
Then open the Terminal and do

cd ~/github
git clone git clone https://github.com/dliessi/ports.git

Now you have a subdirectory called ports that contains my repository.
The next step is to open the sources.conf file in your favorite
editor, for example nano.
In the Terminal

sudo nano /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf

Go after the comment lines (those that begin with #) and before the
line(s) that begin with 'rsync://' and add the following line

file:///Users/derek/github/ports/

Then save the file and exit the editor (if you use nano: ctrl-O to
save, enter to confirm the file name, ctrl-X to exit).
Now again in the Terminal

cd ~/github/ports
portindex

Now your MacPorts installation should be able to see my Portfiles.
To test this, try in the Terminal

port info py-python-poppler-qt4
port info frescobaldi

==========

I'll reword the instructions in the home page of my repository.
Let me know if you need help.

Best wishes.
Davide
