there's no dmg for lilyponds recent versions you need to download the darwin tar.gz package and extract it into an arbitrary folder https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases/v2.24.4/downloads/lilypond-2.24.4-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz alternatively when using frescobaldi, then frescobaldi can do that for you (lilypond settings) (will extract it into ~/Library/Application Support/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/lilypond-binaries/lilypond-2.24.4 then you just need to convince macOS that this stuff is ok: open terminal and type: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine * <wherever you or frescobaldi unpacked that package>
