I'm using the GUI application on Mac OS X, not a version that runs from the command line.

The ReadMe file that came with the installer provides a shell script that uses Python to call Lilypond, and I've been able to use this in conjunction with jEdit, but I don't know how I would modify this script to get different output formats.

The command that compiles a file is
  /usr/local/bin/lilypond <options> <filepath>
If you automatically want to open a file in an application, use
  open <filepath>
This works from a console (like Terminal or xterm), a shell script, or a program that sends it to a shell (like a Python script).

One limitation seems to be that one cannot have spaces in the filepath, as the command "lilypond" does not seem to be able to handle it.
