Could that be the problem?
My path is /Users/username/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-darwin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin Normally, one wants the more up-to-date items earlier in the PATH, so the user directory ~/bin/ before /usr/local/ which is used for installations from sources, which is before /opt/, and in turn before the system paths. Then, I use a script to run lilypond, see https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-02/msg00425.html Likewise, you might replace your custom installation by soft links, say by sudo ln -s <program path> /usr/local/bin/<name> This avoids importing the whole directory into the PATH, as you have done.
