Hi Jacques!
First, I tried following the installation instructions inside the tar.gz
file that is provided for Mac at the xpdf website. The instructions I
followed were these:
1. Copy the executables (xpdf, pdftotext, etc.) to to /usr/local/bin.
2. Copy the man pages (*.1 and *.5) to
Thank you very much Jacques! It never occurred to me to install it via
Macports. I did it and now it works as expected. I still have to install the
tools manually, right?
One final question, do I have to go through all the trouble of installing
Macports and Xcode on my student's Mac so that I can
Hi all,
I've just figured out how to get Emacs to work with Lilypond in OSX.
Everything works fine except the command for viewing the pdf output (C-c
C-s). When I run it I get this:

/bin/bash: xpdf: command not found
Compilation exited abnormally with

Yes, I also found that thread but, although it starts about Emacs the

I've also read the instructions at the Lilypond website. It only says Emacs

Well, I tried TexShop. I already had it installed so it was just a matter of
downloading and installing the Lilypond engines created by Nicola
Vitacolonna. It was very easy and the engines work perfectly. Unfortunately,
I have the same trouble as with Frescobaldi: the log is unreadable. In other
What I would also encourage you to do is to send an email to Wilbert or
add your suggestions to Frescobaldi's own tracker to maybe say why it
isn't a good choice.
Great idea! I will do that!
I do use Frescobaldi and I agree, it's really nice! The problem with it is
that the log cannot be

Yes, I'm aware of the broken links. I was unable to upload the images on my
first attempt (on Nabble) so I modified my post and included links to files

Thomas,
I tried your solution. It's definitely far better than mine. Works
flawlessly with pd. but not so well with n., which now experiences the
same vertical displacement. Here

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a score where I need hairpins to end on a specific text. I do
this because I don't really like the hairpins with a circle tip. I prefer to
use n. for niente and pd. for perdendosi (the first one for strings, the
second one for winds).
Now, on some occasions the

No. Bar checks don't do any accounting of their own, they just check an

you had 100 bar checks every bar.
Thanks! Good to know!

Hi,
I've been using Lilypond for over a year and I've always noticed it requires
a lot of CPU resources to engrave a score. This is especially noticeable
when working on big orchestral scores. I use a Macbook Pro and one single
