Ah, I see. You're going about this the wrong way: What you should be 
sourcing is /sw/bin/init.csh, which covers both general TEXMF and the 
lilypond specific stuff.

This is mentioned in the fink installation documents, so people coming 
to lilypond from the fink side tend to know this already, but I suppose 
I should mention this more prominently for people coming to fink from 
the lilypond side.
