[OS X TeX] TeXShop and Lilypond

[Themis Matsoukas]

David,

Change the first line of your engine to

#!/bin/tcsh -f

(notice the exclamation mark that's missing from your file). Also  
change the path to lilypond as David Watson suggested (set  
LILYPONDFOLDER = /Users/michaelm/Desktop ). Better yet, move lilypond  
to /Applications and change the engine accordingly - this will create  
a more standard environment. Moreover, if you need to run latex/ 
lilypond on different computers, just copy the engine without the  
need to edit new paths.

Thanks to those who helped with this thread!
