Well, if people should not use homebrew to install both frescobaldi and
lilypond, this should be clearer in the instructions. I have no problem
installing lilypond from [1] [I ended up doing just this, and grabbing the
frescobaldi dmg], but the homebrew instructions make it seem like
installing frescobaldi with or without lilypond are equally blessed. Is
this not what is wanted?
