Re: Any advice for getting emacs working with lilypond on MacOsX?

Actually, Tim, there *is* an incantation for Homebrew too, it just doesn't really work very easily.  It seems people are working on it.

Oh, dear.  Very sorry for what seemed no doubt like an entire school of red herring.

There is an incantation to use for installing Frescobaldi via MacPorts (sudo port install lilypond) but not AFAIK Homebrew.

Much, much easier is David L’s .dmg Frescobaldi package that has already been identified with URL.  Had my answer been more complete (i.e., had I thought to include the flamin’ URL for the Frescobaldi package) things would have been much, much simpler for you.

IMHO Frescobaldi works better than Emacs and lilypond-mode, but some folks have Emacs keybindings coded into their fingers and prefer to stay with that.

In this case the incomplete answer was much worse than no answer at all.  I apologize, rif!
