Assuming the your file is called "filename.lytex" the following should
work within the terminal:

lilypond-book --pdf filename.lytex
pdflatex filename.tex

The lilypond-book command may only reside within the lilypond.app
application, depending on how you installed lilypond, in which case
you would need to type

/Applications/Lilypond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond-book

instead. I don't use Texshop, but I believe that if the above works,
the only thing you would need to change to make it an engine would be
to change "filename" to "$1". You should be sure that your original
file does not end in .tex to make sure the lilypond-book does not
overwrite the file.
