this is very handy (and I would recommend it, too) may you need to use 
LilyPond from the command line, but it is not necessary to make 
Frescobaldi use LilyPond.

Go to Frescobaldi's Preferences -> LilyPond Preferences: you probably 
have only one entry in the list.
Edit it and in the LilyPond Command field choose the LilyPond 
application (the typical value of the text box will be 
`/Applications/LilyPond.app`, no need to go inside the application bundle).
Then click OK and Frescobaldi should be able to find and use LilyPond.

If this does not work, then there is either a bug in Frescobaldi or a 
fault in your setup.
Please let me know in any case.

Best wishes.
Davide


P.S. This should not have happened in the first place: with the default 
settings (before you edit the LilyPond list) Frescobaldi should 
automatically find either /Applications/LilyPond.app or 
/opt/local/bin/lilypond (from MacPorts), if they are present.
I'd like to find out why this did not happen: let me know if you are 
willing to help me with a couple of tests. :)
