Re: LilyPond 2.23.3 installer on MacOS 11

[Jefferson Felix]

As an alternative, you can use homebrew to install last development version:
brew install --HEAD lilypond

Pros:
- the latest current development version with latest features;
- trusted sources (homebrew and official lilypond development repository);
- install all dependencies automatically

Cons:
- it compiles from source code (could be take a while);
- it installs the current development version (2.23.5) and can have
unknown bugs;
- It uses guile 2.2 (a little bit more slower to startup);
- it install texlive (3.6 GB), but you can remove texlive after installation
