Re: ANN: Frescobaldi 3.2

[Mario Bolognani]

Dear Wilbert,

many thanks for updating Frescobaldi but an inexperienced user like me gets 
lost into the tricky steps fo obtaining a .dmg package to install as in version 
3.1.3.

Sorry for my ignorance (and perhaps for refusing to get into excessive details 
for obtaining a powerful editor like Frescobaldi for publishing music). You may 
object like the old Girolamo Frescobaldi “Non senza fadiga si giunge al fine” 
(Not without effort we reach the end), but I would avoid too much effort if 
possible…  

Best wishes
