Firstly, thanks to everyone's help.

I changed my shell to bash using Netinfo and restarted.

I am now using bash and have tried as per manual.

Almost there.

Created lilypond file in ~/bin as per manual:

exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"

When I try lilypond and lilypond-book I now get:

-bash: /Users/me/bin/lilypond: cannot execute binary file

Permissions, etc., are fine on the files I have created in ~/bin, i.e.,
user executable

Applications run fine when giving full pathname.

Creating other command, e.g., lilymidi and midi2ly in 
~/bin work fine!
