If it's easy to add, we might insert into 13.2 something like "To invoke LilyPond from the commandline under OS X, run path/to/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond. The same is true of the other scripts in the /bin directory, including lilypond-book, convert-ly, abc2ly, etc."Sure! Fixes like this are always welcome. I'm not going to add a new chapter or completely rewrite an existing one, but small changes to text like this are completely ok. Please send more! :)
OK then :-)A much easier way to invoke Lilypond under OS X is just to add the relevant directory to your $PATH. So, for csh and tcsh, add this to your .cshrc:
setenv PATH /Applications/Lilypond.app/Resources/bin:{$PATH} Obviously, replacing the path to Lilypond.app if necessary.I'm not sure what the syntax would be for bash and other shells; can anyone help with that? In any event, Graham—I think we should add this to the appropriate section of the manual.
