Re: Frescobaldi & Click-to-View

Sadly, I can not use Frescobaldi. Having upgraded to Mac OS 11.6 (El Capitan) I 
find that I am unable to bypass the built-in security feature that blocks 
unsigned applications. (no more freeware!)    I am able to continue using 
Lilypond, because (I presume) it was already on the machine when I upgraded.

My solution:
On a whim, I tried opening the PDF files from the browser program (Safari on 
Mac). The links work! The corresponding .ly file opens to the correct text 
position. The system does issue a warning that can be ignored, and I can just 
click refresh each time I re-compile. It's a real kludge, but it runs quite 
smoothly, and I am back to work!

 If you're looking to have this feature work,
 and are running linux, I was only able to do it by building
 an older version of xpdf (for the pdf viewer) and using GVim
 (not regular Vim) for the point and click feature.  It
 still works but it seems the feature hasn't been updated
 since most people use Frescobaldi.  I much prefer Vim

 really miss it.)
