Hi Karlin! Maybe, installing compat6x package is required. # pkg install compat6x-amd64 ...and it did indeed fix the issue. LilyPond seems fully functional. Next, I want to make a FreeBSD 32-bit VM, and see about reviving an iMac G5 to test the PowerPC installers. Although I doubt there's a v

This statement surprises me. I always thought of 'drop n' (with 'drop 2' being the most common one) as a means to transform closed-harmony _upper_ voices into open harmony _upper_ voices, without changing the bass at all. [...] Much like continued bass, what we’re dealing with here is the "rig
