Hopefully they will make it sooner than later.

I'm talking to the lilypond-list mailing list, and seeing if we can get anybody to work on the update. So far, not much luck. 

This is now somewhat urgent, as snappy's recent update means older versions of qtwebengine (notably, version -5.15.13_p20240322 that's currently in the tree) won't work with it. See this bug on FreeBSD's bugzilla: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278633

Updating frescobaldi to work with PyQt6 involves work that it's beyond my skills to know how to do, but I hope we can get this looked at. Lilypond is *the* music-notation software for Linux, and frescobaldi is *the* IDE for it.
