As it turns out, midi2ly is bundled inside of the MAC OS lilypond.app file.
The trick is knowing how to access it.
Here is a link to instructions on how to access midi2ly on a MAC:
1) Download the latest version of Python as described in the link.
2) Use Spotlight or Finder to figure out where lilypond.app is installed. On
my Mac, no surprise, it is in my Applications folder.
3) Open a Terminal window and CD to the Applications window. In my case, I
issued the following
command:
cd /applications
That's odd, usually that would be: cd /Applications
3) Confirm you can now access midi2ly by issuing the following command,
which should display the usage
screen for midi2ly:
open lilypond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/midi2ly
Again, that's odd. Usually this would be: open LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/midi2ly… Except midi2ly isn't a program you open, like convert-ly, it's a script that's run on a file.
Additionally, since midi2ly, like convert-ly, lilypond-book, and lilysong are python scripts, at least on OSX 10.4, in addition to installing a newer version of python, the first line of those files needs to be changed to: #!/usr/bin/env python
