If you have the OSX version installed, you can create a symlink to lilypond.sh in /usr/local/bin and use it just as the commandline tool would work on Linux or with the Fink version of LilyPond. Do
ln -s /usr/local/bin/lilypond.sh /usr/local/bin/lilypond and open a new terminal window. /Henrik Frisk > Rutgers, I see what you're trying to do.
