You can enlarge the font size in the preferences: "Edit" menu > "Preferences" > "Fonts and Colors" tab > change the font size on the bottom right. > In August 2022, trying to implement Lilypond 2.20.0 build > 20..311175017-darwin-64, I did load MacPorts-2.7.2-12-Monterey.pkg .

This will not work. The change in our distribution method was done for good reasons, and one of the reasons is that nobody managed to build a 64-bit version of LilyPond in the previous setting. If your dislike for Frescobaldi goes deeper than the font size issue, you can always run the LilyPond binaries you downloaded on the terminal directly, using the command "~/.../bin/lilypond file.ly" (replace the ellipsis with the path where you put LilyPond).
