Re: Latest Version sh file?

[Craig Bakalian]

Yes, I am there.  I got it now.  I put it in bin. It's up and running. I 
think I am getting old, lol.   It's odd, Frescobaldi isn't working on 
mint 21, there is a bug directly at startup, but there is an option of 
Frescobaldi Flatpak which is running, but the pathways to the 
Frescoabaldi Flatpak application are bizarre. This means the Frescobaldi 
Flatpak won't run the lilypond 2.23, just 2.22 for some reason.   It 
struggled to do /include "myfile.ly" in a lilypond bang.

But, yeah, I am running 2.23 in the terminal and all is good. That's the 
way I used to run lilypond anyway.  I work on multi file lilypond 
projects all the time, so Frescobaldi is a wonderful aid.   Gosh, 
updating to mint 21 was a dream.

Thanks!

Craig
