I've been using TeXShop as my lilypond editor for a while now.  And yes, I 
edited the engine script to include 
'-I/Users/myUserName/Library/LilyPond/includes' as an option, so that a couple 
of my own files that I often use can be included from anywhere without long 
(and machine-specific) paths in the source files.  (Replacing 
'/Users/myUserName' by '~' doesn't seem to work in this context; I'm not sure 
why.)

It does seem odd that LilyPond currently has no standard paths for 
installation-specific includes: I would have expected at least one system-wide 
one (somewhere in /usr/local or /usr/share on a generic UNIX, somewhere in 
/Library on OS X) and one user-specific one (somewhere in ~/Library on OS X).

Best wishes,
Matthew
