you have the .profile in the wrong place, that is, do *NOT* do step 2 so that .profile ends up in your home directory

Thanks for this Graham (and your patience!). I think I messed it up
somewhere. Here's what I have:

1) lilypond.app is in /applications folder

2) I call up a terminal and see this:

ip5455a71f:~ peter$ cd '/Applications/'
ip5455a71f:/Applications peter$

3) Then I type:
nano

4) next: I hit <Ctrl>R.
Type .profile and hit <Enter>.
I get : File to insert [from ./] :

5) I type .profile and
hit <Enter>

6) This is what I now get:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Applications/LilyPond.app/
Contents/Resources/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Apps/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin

So for some reason I get a combination of Geoff's suggestion and your
suggestion.

What should I do here?
