Re: LilyPond 2.23.6 *-tmp-* files

[Andrew Bernard]

The @ just means the file has extended attributes which can be seen with 
xattr.

MacOS is just UNIX underneath, so I don't see why /tmp should not 
operate normally. Is  there any chance the OP has TMPDIR set to '.'?

Here's a post on /tmp in MacOS that may be illuminating.

Unlike plain Linux systems Apple seems to want to hide its tmp 
directories from ordinary users.
