Hello Daniel, in this case I wouldn't consider the double post a waste of time, given the small intersection of Lilypond mailing list members an the Stack Overflow crow. It might be a good idea to mention your other attempts to solve your problem in the mail so we have a chance to see what has allready been mentioned. Anyway, back to your problem (running abjad, was that your goal?): I hink the easiest route would be to edit abjads configuration file (see http://abjad.mbrsi.org/installation.html#configuring-abjad). You might want to change the line lilypond_path = lilypond to lilypond_path = /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond That should o the trick (sorry, I'm a bit short on time to install abjad on a Mac right now, so I can't test it myself).
