Re: frescobaldi on mac

[Stan Sanderson]

Update- Re: fresh install on OS 10.8.4 following the recipe linked to the 
Frescobaldi page on a "clean" machine. XQuartz previously installed but no 
previous MacPorts, Fink or HomeBrew installs. 

Frescobaldi is working well, but I was having problems with MIDI. I now believe 
it was due to the sound font I had set in qsynth (a very large font- 1.6GB). I 
extracted the sound font from Musescore, as Philippe suggests and with synth 
running the MIDI is now working.

The instructions could mention the importance of either setting path variables 
or providing full path links e.g., to the  lilypond binary.
