If lilycall.py is no longer the preferred way to call lily from the
commandline under OS X, could someone kindly point me to the newer,
better way?

python /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lilycall.py
/Applications/LilyPond.app 198.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.7.37

Terminal then hangs; top shows lilypond taking up between 15 and 40%
of the cpu indefinitely; hitting ctrl-c produces the following:

^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lilycall.py",
line 228, in ?
    code = p.wait ()
  File "/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/subprocess.py",
line 1023, in wait
    pid, sts = os.waitpid(self.pid, 0)
KeyboardInterrupt
