Snow Leopard and Smultron

[arl]

I'm running 2.13.3-0 on my Mac under Leopard - it's wonderful to have a "proper" working version again on the Mac. Thanks to all who have produced this version.

I notice on the LilyPond page for the Mac that "The text editor Smultron does not work properly under Snow Leopard."

I looked up the Smultron page ( http://smultron.sourceforge.net/ ) and it appears that a beta version of Smultron for Snow Leopard (SL) now exists so the above comment may need revision. I haven't managed to check whether Smultron is OK under SL.

Over the weekend  I installed SL on my younger daughter's Mac and installed LilyPond (2.13.3-0) on it to check that it would work under SL. I saved the LilyPond test page and tried to compile it. LilyPond appeared to run OK (menus etc.) until you tried to compile a file - then it just sat there!

I value the facility to use LilyPond far more that being able to run my Mac under Snow Leopard so I won't be updating my own Mac to SL until LilyPond works under it. Is the reason for LilyPond not working under SL known or are more investigations necessary?

with best regards,
