Hello Michael Hendry

FWIW - I installed Lilypond 2.22.1 on Catalina using MacPorts. “nerdling" has also amiably posted version 2.23.3 there as of now.

I made a little cheatsheet after my own successful install. Here it is:

Installing and using Macports for LilyPond

==========================================

https://www.macports.org/install.php

https://guide.macports.org/#installing #better

# Xcode must be up to date (see link immediately above)

# keep macports up to date

sudo port -v selfupdate

# search for lilypond ports available

port search lilypond*

# search for all ports related to lilypond

port search lilypond

# installing a port help

https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.install

# installing lilypond

sudo port install lilypond

# also see port clean and port uninstall

https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.clean

https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.uninstall

Thanks, Andrew.

I tried the above and got:

michaelhendry@iMac ~ % which lilypond
/Users/michaelhendry/.rvm/gems/ruby-head/bin/lilypond
michaelhendry@iMac ~ % /Users/michaelhendry/.rvm/gems/ruby-head/bin/lilypond --version
Bad CPU type in executable - /Users/michaelhendry/.lyp/lilyponds/2.23.3/bin/lilypond
michaelhendry@iMac ~ %

Will investigate further, but probably not today.

Michael, 

looks like you have multiple package managers in play.

For plain MacPorts Lilypond would've been in the /opt/local folder structure. Yours appear to reside in folders of the Ruby Version Manager. I didn't know it, but looking at their site version and MacPorts configuration are a bit blurry to me.

They have https://rvm.io/integration/macports-before-autolibs and https://rvm.io/integration/macports.

In the past I've had issues mixing multiple package managers on Mac OS, so in the end I've decided to only use MacPorts. With a plain MacPorts I've never encountered an issue with the Lilypond port.

kind regards,

Hans
