There are hopefully improvements with the latest script but still getting reports of problems, lets use this thread to field them

A helpful report from George Profenza:

I've setup a quick test last night using the MacOS instructions (https://tidalcycles.org/index.php/MacOS_installation)

I hit on a few snags, but not Tidal related per-se:

input and output sample rates do not match. 8000 != 44100 could not initialize audio. RESULT = 1 ERROR: server failed to start For advice: [http://supercollider.sf.net/wiki/index.php/ERROR:_server_failed_to_start]) - switched back to laptop speakers to test


- I must've botched something in SC because I got this error: no synth or sample named 'sn' could be found. 
(maybe I accidentally interrupted the install process and 'sn' didn't make it ?)

I've changed the sn with other vowels and SC was happy.
