Re: considering getting a new mac that has the new M chip; does Lilypond install/run ok?

[Matthew Fong]

Hello Kenneth,

I've installed LilyPong from MacPorts, along with MacTeX on my M1 MacMini. Alas, it's no faster than my 2019 iMac for compilation. But far more energy efficient, and no fans at full speed when compiling hundreds of files for PDF output. It's a wonderful computing experience.

Lilypond install/run ok?

If not, then I'll consider using a Docker container that runs Linux.

Thanks,
