Comment #9 on issue 2338 by d...@gnu.org: OS X LilyPad not working
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2338

So we are again at square one, right? We have some information that some OSX applications do not work on some (or all) OSX versions, and nobody knows how to move forward on this one, we have nobody who can or will take responsibility for OSX, and it is the only critical issue holding up the next stable release.

Feedback from actual OSX users takes, if we are lucky, a week to arrive after blind (and quite costly) best-faith efforts from non-users of the platform, even for trivial changes.

I really don't see how we can declare the degree to which OSX is supported anything other than "Good luck!". It is somewhat comforting that the command line application LilyPond itself is usually not affected. Would we have a better chance for being at least able to deliver LilyPond (and most Python utilities) if we skipped on the third-party applications/editors/desktop-icons and just recommended downloading and installing them separately?
