Hi
Apologies if this has been raised before (though I did look!) but there seems
to be a problem with the LilyPond text editor on Mac whereby apostrophes are
replaced by a “curly” version which isn’t recognised by the compiler,
triggering a “not a note name error”. Tried re-installing, but as you can see,
even the built-in demo fails:

Output from each:
And the relevant output from the parser:
> Processing `/Users/joeofarrell/Desktop/LilyPond

Any suggestions? There was an OS update (11.2.2) a few days ago - could that
have caused an issue?
Cheers,
Joe
