Install on OS X.2?

Hi there,
I need some help figuring out why I can't get Lilypond
to run.  I am running Mac OS X.2 (I think - is there a
way to check for sure?).  I have downloaded and
installed Lilypond, ghostscript and MacPython.  All
went smoothly but when I try to open Lilypond it still
tells me I need MacPython.   If someone could advise
me I would very much appreciate it.  Thanks!   --  Erin

Click on the apple icon in the top-left corner, and select
"about this mac".  I'm not certain if Lilypond runs on 10.2, though.

Cheers,

Re: 2.6.0: translate not working with mark

This may turn out to be a bit of an inconvenience.
I use "" \translate a lot to position text precisely on a score,
because AFAIK it is the only way to do it, as \translate will not work
without something in front of it.
I can confirm that convert-ly does not change "" to " ", as I noticed
the original problem when converting a score from 2.4.3.
Whilst it would not be difficult for me to change all the instances of
' "" \translate' to ' " " translate', I suspect that the positioning
of the text will not be the same, as " " has a length.  If this is the
case then I will have to go through all my existing scores and check
the positions manually.
It would be nice if \translate would work with nothing in front of it.

Lots of trash in the Regression Test examples

Looking at the Regression Test document for 2.6 at lilypond.org,
I see that there is a lot of extra garbage text (some kind of debug
printouts?) in most of the examples below beam-quant-standard.ly.

You should still be able to run it from the Terminal, as described in 
the README.

Re: Eastern European characters...

See the Section "8.1.5 Text encoding" of the manual!

You'll have to do that anyway, since 2.6 changes the default font.

Re: Eastern European characters...

Use a UTF-8 capable editor (for example jEdit), and the latest stable 
release of lilypond (2.6)

Damn &%SI&N <at> S%N!

That's a brown paper bag bug. The default \layout {}  block seems to be 
leaked between different files on the command line.

PDF files

Hi

I'm beginning to wonder if my problem is at my end or if it's a bug. I've mailed the user list a number of times
and have only got a couple of answers, neither of which solved the problem, so was wondering if whoever
programmes the Windows version knows the answer. I had an answer from Paul Scott, who said is version 2.6 is
not generating PDF's or even workable PS's at the moment either. Here's the problem:

(Version 2.6 on Windows ME)

Having written my text file, I then drag it onto the Lilypond icon, which then processes it and creates a file
with the Lilypond icon on it, as well as creating a .txt file on the desktop with the adobe symbol on it (which
I also can't open). It also creates a midi file, which funtions properly. I then double click on the newly
created Lilypond file, which creates a PS file and continues processing for a while but creates nothing
new. There is no PDF file. Anyone know why?
