I just run a shell script in Terminal, which is
  exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"

You can try it by opening Terminal, then paste the following lines  
into it:
cat > lilypond
exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"

then finish with ^D (<control>-d). After that type
  chmod a+x lilypond
This makes the script executable.

If you want to compile a file type
  ./lilypond <file>
You can enter the <file> by dropping it into Terminal. All this  
happens in the directory you create it. In order to get it it work  
like a normal Unix program, see my post:
