Re: Windows laptop

[Jeremiah Reilly]

Hello Jonas

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I've looked at the link you provided. Sorry for the following questions, but this stuff is outside my field of competence.

I think I don't want source code. I don't want to compile a binary.

Do I download a "package?"

If yes, which package? "lilypond-2.23.6-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz" ??

What is the "generic package" lilypond-2-23.6.tar.gz ?

Once I know what to download, I'll give it try.

Much appreciated.

It does, or should be. External solutions such as MacPorts or HomeBrew
should work since a long time, official binaries are available since
the recent release:
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases/release%252F2.23.6-1

Please give this a try and report back if it doesn't work.
