Hi all

Reading that last thread about Frescobaldi and its possible disappearance from Mac is causing me to panic. Jean, I did not realize that you were the last person to seriously work on Frescobaldi / Mac.

I use Mac exclusively, and Frescobaldi / Lilypond is very important to me. 

FYI, what I like the most about Frescobaldi are:

• Templates and wizards

• Snippets

• Point and Click selection

• Syntax highlighting

If Frescobaldi for Mac does indeed vanish, what are my alternatives for a Lilypond editor?

Hi,

Although https://github.com/paopre/Spontini is focused on _very different_ tasks than Frescobaldi, it has the features you just mentioned (they are exposed in a somewhat different way, but they should work), including code completion

I could not extensively test it in the past months, nor I own a Mac, but thanks to CI/CD it should work on newer versions.

I'm planning to make a new release in the next few weeks.

Also, at the moment there are no active contributors for it. Therefore, any help is really appreciated...
