Hello,

I believe this should help you:

lilypond -fpng filename.ly

(see here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#basic-command-line-options-for-lilypond
)

Also, if you decide to use Frescobaldi, there is an easy export PNG
selection option via a click and drag interface if you end up needing a lot
of PNG files, it may be easier for you. 

Video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzXrKwOw_7Q.
(it shows Windows OS but you should be able to use this on OS X as well)

Hope this helps you.
