I tried Frescobaldi. On Mac it took some effort to get it all working, and over time underlying dependencies started to drift. So in truth I didn’t use it for very long. Not an expert. Now I much prefer emacs and pdf viewer. Simplicity. I have particular preferences in formatting and organizing my ly files, which seemed easier without Frescobaldi in the way.
