Two bugs pop up in the default install.
#1. Use of the wrong encoding for the file system.
I previously reported it on Hans Åberg’s installer.
The build seems to expect file names to use ISO Latin-1 rather than UTF-8, so if you use characters outside of the 7-bit range in your directory tree or file names, you get crashes where Lilypond cannot save the results after processing the file. A log looks like this:

You can see the problem in the second-to-last line. If I change the file name to lose the non-ASCII characters, it works fine.
Hans reported the following as a solution:
I believe this is bug in the software that LilyPond depends on, MacOS sets LC_CTYPE=UTF-8, and does not set LANG.
I use a script to call it from named ‘lilypond', which can be put in /usr/local/bin/lilypond: export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 exec /opt/lilypond/bin/lilypond "$@“
It can be created and installed as follows: In Terminal write (^D is <control D>) % cat > lilypond export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 exec /opt/lilypond/bin/lilypond "$@“ ^D
% chmod a+x lilypond % sudo -s cp lilypond /usr/local/bin/lilypond
And 'rm lilypond' if you do not want to keep the script. Ideally the executables would solve the problem without an external script.
#2: Update.ly doesn’t work for me when invoked from Frescobaldi. I get this message about a bad CPU type when I run it from Frescobaldi.
However, when run from the Lilypond app itself, it works fine. I’m not sure what is going on here.

Folks-- I've just published 64-bit Mac builds of 2.20 at https://bintray.com/marnen/lilypond-darwin-64/lilypond-2.20.0 . Enjoy, and please let me know if you run into any issues: it appears to work, but I haven't tested it exhaustively. Best, --
