I would attach the LilyPond path at the end, but that’s a matter of taste. A 
mixup of commands is rather improbable.

or use the .bashrc file, if there is one, it works the same.


If you don’t know your way around with the command line (bash, Terminal):

* start Terminal.app
* type: nano .profile
  (you get a simple text editor)
* look if there’s already a line with „export PATH“:
  if yes: append „:/Applications/LilyPond/Contents/Resources/bin“ to it
  if no: append Carl’s line to the end of the file.
* press Ctrl-O Return Ctrl-X to save and exit
* try if lilypond or musicxml2ly start if you call them on the command line
