Many thanks to those who responded.
It turns out that I had a case of brainfade - I had put the shell script
that came with Lilypond where it could be triggered by LilyTool in
jEdit, but not in a directory that was in $PATH. Hence a call to
lilypond from the command line did nothing.
FWIW, even though I'm now able to call Lilypond from the command line
and specify PNG output, I think that enabling the GUI version on Mac to
let the user select the output format could be a useful addition. I have
some other Mac users interested in Lilypond, partly because the output
formats in some other (well known) scoring applications have not been
totally satisfactory, but these are guys not used to command line apps,
and the PDF format is somewhat limiting if you want to use your output
with other applications.
