Hi @kksun007 , thanks for the bug report!

I'm not sure yet what the problem may be, but would you mind trying the following and pasting any error messages you see (if any)?

  1. Run a player process in the foreground: alda-player -v run -p 12345
  2. Try to make it play something: alda -v2 play -p 12345 -c "piano: c12 e g > c4"

It would also be useful to know which versions of alda and alda-player you have installed. I did fix some issues similar to this recently in Alda 2.0.4.

@kksun007 Sorry for the late response! It's been a busy week at work.

From that log output, I think the problem might be that your user doesn't have owner permissions for /Users/leonlu/Library. I would try changing the owner of that directory to your user.

Try this: sudo chown -R leonlu ~/Library (and type in your password and press enter when prompted)

@kksun007 The image isn't displaying here. I just see it as:

I see the problem there. The last part of the command should be ~/Library with a tilde, not a dash.

Closing this for now, but I'm happy to continue to help if you need it! We can either keep talking here in comments, or on Slack.
