I am not using a text editor at all. For the last nine years, I have
been running the Lilypond application through the standard Macintosh
GUI. I have never needed to use any command line functions, or
interact with any helper scripts or apps. (I don't actually see any
other process running other than the Lilypond app).
The app has always created, saved, and compiled the files containing
the lilypond code ( with .ly extension). When the output PDF is
created, Lilypond communicates with the operating system to open the
PDF in the Apple Brand PDF viewer called PREVIEW.
Clicking the notes in preview would normally cause the corresponding
.ly file to open in Lilypond, with the specific code highlighted
within the text.
It has worked beautifully all these years, through several Mac system
upgrades.
However, I see from the Lilypond download page that the most recent
system support is for Mac OS 10.4, while the current system is up to
OS 13.0 is it possible that Lilypond is becoming incompatible with
Apple products?

Sorry, it's written in the
subject: it's Notes.
I'm not a Mac user and cannot help much.
You should check if Notes supports opening a
file in a precise location
(line and
column) and see what's the correct syntax to use.
Are you sure it used to work
with Notes in the past or you are making
confusion with something else?
I may help if you want to use
editors which can run on multiple
operating
systems, including Linux.
The patch I mentioned before is here:
