But...no, 2.13.6 did not work better than the previous version. At least  
the command line tool in the earlier
versions worked on Leopard, and could be used with the (dreadful) jEdit  
LilyPondTool. 2.13.6's command line
tool was effectively broken!

So you're saying that until it works once on a given OS, there can't be any  
High-priority issues?  That seems
insane to me -- and I say that from the point of view of an experienced  
developer.  At the very least, I
suppose it explains why there was *never* really a working GUI build for  
Leopard.
