James, you are correct - cd-ing into the directory works, thanks
Mike - I tried adding everything I could think of (I'm not a guile expert!) but 
couldn't make progress beyond:

export 
GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/guile/1.8" 
 
export 
GUILE_LOAD_PATH=$GUILE_LOAD_PATH:/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/scm
     

which gives the error:

GNU LilyPond 2.15.26
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/guile/1.8/srfi/srfi-1.scm:223:1:
