I don't know exactly how things go on Mac, but simply changing/adding a
configuration file won't change anything on a UNIX system. You also have
to make sure that the shell (the one that is actually executing the
command) has read that file. I'm not sure about that "pico" either, but
on Linux any profiles may only be read upon the start of a shell - or by
explicitly calling "source pico.profile" on it. OTOH there are different
types of profiles that are read in different contexts so I won't make
any concrete suggestions.

But as you *are* using LaTeX already please let me point you to two
packages that are valuable for the use-case of writing seminar texts and
other mixed documents which we talked about: lilyglyphs and musicexamples.
lilyglyphs is in CTAN and TeXLive, so it should be available on your
LaTeX distribution, otherwise consult
ftp://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/mirror/tex-archive/macros/luatex/latex/lilyglyphs/documentation/lilyglyphs.pdf
musicexamples is not fully ready yet - that is, it *is* ready but not
extremely useful yet. Nevertheless it provides a few cool things for
inserting music in LaTeX documents. It is not released yet but you can
find it at https://github.com/uliska/musicexamples.

Best
Urs
