Re: Confused newbie

Hi Robert,

Welcome to the Pond!

I don't have a Mac myself. Maybe someone who does will be able to
help. Can I ask how you are executing lilypond? If you are running it
from the command line you could try enabling more verbose logging by
passing the "-l DEBUG" option and sending us the output.

Best wishes,
Kevin
