Good, because it most certainly can thogh it is pretty complex because of the many dependencies. In regards to package managers, Homebrew has a formula for building Lilypond from source. The biggest obstacle is the dependency on Guile 1.8, so there has to be a way of installing that without interfering with other packages that rely on Guile 2.0. There is also the possibility of using a package manager to install the official Lilypond.app. Again, Homebrew can do that, but at the moment only version 2.18 is supported. It would be easy to add the latest 2.18 as well. -- Sven Axelsson ++++++++++[>++++++++++>+++++++++++>++++++++++>++++++ >++++<<<<<-]>++++.+.++++.>+++++.>+.<<-.>>+.>++++.<<. +++.>-.<<++.>>----.<++.>>>++++++.<<<<.>>++++.<----.
