Hi,

Please keep the list in copy so others can chime in as well.

When you say "reset my laptop", do you mean rebooting?
So LilyPond is still installed, right? The first time,
I understood you removed the LilyPond application (which
surprised me).

If you try another score now, does it work?

When the computer appeared frozen, did _everything_ freeze,
or just the window of the LilyPond application? If it's
everything, that sounds like a problem with the lightweight
graphical application we ship on macOS rather than the core
LilyPond program. Well, the application that we used to ship,
anyway; in current development versions (= versions provided for
users to test, not recommended for everyone yet), we don't even
ship an app like that, you need to use an external editor. In
general, if are still using the mini-editor, I *strongly* recommend
that you switch to Frescobaldi, where editing is a lot more
comfortable. You can download it from here:

Best,
Jean
