Your personal files should always be in your home catalog. You can work from any directory, but if you so like make a directory where you want, for example: ~/LilyPond/ ~/Music/LilyPond ~/Documents/LilyPond/ Not in ~/Library/, because that is for application support, and is even hidden in OS X 10.7. As for running lilypond from Terminal (it was not clear that this is what you wanted), make a script named lilypond, and put it in ~/bin or /usr/local/bin/: exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@" Hans _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
