create a script with the following contents (the exec line is 1 line!):

#!/bin/bash
exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond / 
Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/ly/ 
scheme-sandbox.ly

make sure it is in your path and set to excutable (chmod u+x). This  
will get you in the sandbox right-away. Alternatively you can make a  
script to call Lilypond:

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

and do:

lilypond scheme-sandbox.ly

The sandbox-file can be editied to contain files to be loaded, so you  
should look to the directory, path, etc. Make a copy first.
