You could also run LilyPond under Linux in a virtual machine on your mac.
I recently got my mac installed with a fresh Catalina, and endeavored to install Hans' Lilypond package.
(Thanks, Hans!!!)
Everything went fine, except certain aspect of fonts.
But I have been using a custom "Frankenfont", created by overriding various elements, such as:
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\override Stem.details.beamed-lengths = #'(3.8 4 4.2)
\override Beam #'beam-thickness = #0.57
\override Beam #'length-fraction = #1.14
\override Beam.damping = #1.94
\override Tie #'thickness = #2.1
\override Slur #'thickness = #2.2
\override PhrasingSlur #'thickness = #2.6
\override Hairpin.minimum-length = #3
}
\override DynamicText #'font-family = #'sebastiano
\override NoteHead #'font-family = #'scorlatti
\override Script #'font-family = #'lv-goldenage
\override TrillSpanner #'font-family = #'scorlatti
}
This has been working for me for several years.
However, with this version on mac Catalina, I cannot get the overrides to work for NoteHead or Script.
Here is my MWE. The vanilla version here does nothing special, since it overrides these font symbols with the default, Emmentaler.
Then there is a bash script to iterate through each of the named fonts, and each of the thee font symbols, and create a file for each font and symbol alteration.
All the fonts are present, according to lilypond -dshow-available-fonts. And all the fonts work for overriding DynamicText.
But none of them besides Emmentaler work for overriding NoteHead or Script, yeilding an error like
fatal error: cannot find font: `lv-goldenage-11'
Does anyone have any clues what I'd need to do to get these symbol-specific overrides to work again?
