Lilypond and Leopard again

|

As from version 2.12.0 (actually somewhere around 2.11.40) it is again possible to use the prebuilt Lilypond distribution for Leopard Intel computers. The GUI stuff still doesn't work, but nobody uses that anyways, right? Do this, and you're all set.

You can do everything from the command line by creating files like this in a folder in your path (I use ~/bin).

#!/bin/bash
exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond $@

Name the file `lilypond` and make it executable with `chmod a+x lilypond`. Do the same for other lilypond programs you want to have available, e.g.
`lilypond-book`, `convert-ly`.
