IMO, it's better to do this:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Apps/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin

That way the existing path is still used, even if it's set somewhere 
else (say, /etc/profile).

All of these can be condensed to
$ cat "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Apps/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin" 
>> ~/.profile

(or something like that; please test it before suggesting a doc change)

Peter, did you do this?  After making the change, you _must_ quite 
terminal and then re-start it.  In addition, are you sure you have the 
right directory?  Where did you put lilypond?
