I asked lilypond-devel before merging lilypond into homebrew, and they
didn't notice known bugs with guile 2 - they already fixed all known
issues.
The Guile 2 transition is an effort that has spanned 10
years or so and taken a lot of pain. Think “Python 2 to
Python 3”. That we didn't notice the bugs doesn't mean
there aren't a couple of them remaining out there.
Using Guile 2 does also require some adjustments to user
Scheme code. Plus the startup time is not very pleasant
when you don't do byte-compilation, which has only become
possible in the current development series.
Get me right: it's super nice that Homebrew is providing 64-bit
LilyPond binaries, even with Guile 2. I just want to
concur with Lukas and warn that not all may be perfect
yet. If you experience undesired behavior, please report
it to the bug-lilypond list. If you make any bug report
and you are using a version of LilyPond running Guile 2,
it might be a good idea to mention it.
Thanks,
Jean
