lilyjazz

Hi, I’m stumped on how to install lilyjazz on my Mac.

I cloned https://github.com/OpenLilyPondFonts/lilyjazz and installed the fonts 
from otf/ and supplementary-fonts/ into FontBook. So now in FontBook, I have 
the 8 “numbered” lilyjazz fonts, lilyjazz-brace, lilyjazz-chord, and 
lilyjazz-text. I didn’t do anything with the stuff in the svg/ directory, not 
sure what those are for.

I couldn’t find lilyjazz.ily or jazzchords.ily anywhere, so I installed lyp and 
installed the lilyjazz package from there.

Then, I just copied lilyjazz.ly and jazzchords.ly into a “sample” directory of 
mine. In the same directory, I created this common lilyjazz example:

\version “2.18.2"
\include “lilyjazz.ly"

\score { 
        \new Staff {
                \jazzOn
                c'4 c' \tuplet 3/2 { d'8-- es'-- e'-- } g'4 ~ |
                g'4 r r8 f'-^ \noBeam es' c'-> \bar "|."
        }
}

And when I render, I’m getting two bars but where every note is actually a left 
bracket of various heights, rather than the hand-drawn look I expect.

I also was unable to render the AllOfMe example, but I’m suspecting it might 
require 2.19 (I’m on 2.18.2)

Can someone tell me what I need to do? Also, is there some up to date lilyjazz 
installation article that I’ve missed?  I googled a bunch and there are out of 
date articles, and other articles redirecting us to “superseding” articles that 
don’t actually have information.
