Frescobaldi is tricky to install on Mac—Wilbert doesn’t have one
(which is fair enough), and the dependencies sometimes get a little
out of sync. You might have luck downgrading a couple things... I
think I still have the versions mentioned in this post:

https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/77#issuecomment-7265828

On my next computer I think I’ll install a virtual Linux partition and
run Frescobaldi and other other open source software off that.
