New User Frescobaldi Setup for Mac

[Garrett McGilvray]

I have tried thus far unsuccessfully to get Frescobaldi to work on my Mac, and 
I am wondering if any of you Mac Frescobaldi users could help me.

I have followed the instructions from this link:
https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/wiki/Frescobaldi-Mac-OS-X-install-guide

After all of those instructions, I have successfully gotten Frescobaldi to 
launch, but it seems to have trouble pairing with LilyPond. When I go into the 
Preferences -> LilyPond Preferences, and set the "LilyPond version to use", I 
click add, point it to the LilyPond app, and then it says, "Running LilyPond, 
this can take some time..." Indeed it does: I can let it go for hours (I tried 
about three hours yesterday), and it will keep going forever. Now when the box 
with the above message first pops up, LilyPond itself launches. It's as though 
Frescobaldi can't hear back from LilyPond. Does that problem sound familiar to 
anyone?

I sure will appreciate your help.
