Hello Michael,
Check the output of:
echo $PATH
The folder containing the LilyPond version you want to use should be the first such.

Hello Michael Hendry
FWIW - I installed Lilypond 2.22.1 on Catalina using MacPorts. “nerdling" has also amiably posted version 2.23.3 there as of now.
I made a little cheatsheet after my own successful install. Here it is:
Installing and using Macports for LilyPond
==========================================

https://guide.macports.org/#installing #better
# Xcode must be up to date (see link immediately above)
# keep macports up to date
sudo port -v selfupdate
# search for lilypond ports available
port search lilypond*
# search for all ports related to lilypond
port search lilypond
# installing a port help
https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.install
# installing lilypond
sudo port install lilypond
# also see port clean and port uninstall

Thanks, Andrew. I tried the above and got:michaelhendry@iMac ~ % which lilypond/Users/michaelhendry/.rvm/gems/ruby-head/bin/lilypondmichaelhendry@iMac ~ % /Users/michaelhendry/.rvm/gems/ruby-head/bin/lilypond --versionBad CPU type in executable - /Users/michaelhendry/.lyp/lilyponds/2.23.3/bin/lilypondmichaelhendry@iMac ~ % Will investigate further, but probably not today.Michael
Michael, looks like you have multiple package managers in play. For plain MacPorts Lilypond would've been in the /opt/local folder structure. Yours appear to reside in folders of the Ruby Version Manager. I didn't know it, but looking at their site version and MacPorts configuration are a bit blurry to me. In the past I've had issues mixing multiple package managers on Mac OS, so in the end I've decided to only use MacPorts. With a plain MacPorts I've never encountered an issue with the Lilypond port.
kind regards, Hans
