If your LP application is in a folder on your desktop, then it appears 
to me you need one more addition to your path name. For instance, I have 
a folder on my Desktop called Lilypondfolder. In order to point to it, 
the  path is:

LILYPONDFOLDER = /Users/michaelm/Desktop/Lilypondfolder

In case it helps, the way I have been finding this information is to 
open the Terminal, enter ls, which lists the contents, then click cd 
Desktop (or something from the list that gets me to the application), 
then ls again . . . and continue the process until I get to the location 
of the Lilypond application. This gives me the path.

Other than that, I'm not sure how to help. I was told that, if the LP 
application was located on my desktop, the code in the engine would be:

LILYPONDFOLDER = /Users/michaelm/Desktop

But this is what you already have.

Yours perhaps should read:

LILYPONDFOLDER = /Users/wome/Desktop/Lilypondfolder

The only other thing I can think of to offer is a copy of the file of 
the engine I am using, which assumes that LP is located in Applications.

I hope something here helps.
