I have just used LilyPond from Terminal, and an editor, Xcode, though there are 
more LilyPond aware alternatives. The script I use (as mentioned before) is
  exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"
On OS X 10.7, one can put it in /usr/local/bin/, as it is in the default PATH, 
though I have mine in ~/bin/.
