I'm sorry—perhaps I attached too much significance to the OP's "I do not want to use Frescobaldi." If a GUI is required, I would have thought a Mac editor could supply that, and drag-and-drop could run LP on the file that's dropped onto it. But regardless of the OP's target, maybe that type of instruction sequence be useful to a Mac user who didn't want a GUI? The ones given in LM §§1.1–1.3 seem very tied to Frescobaldi, and I'm uncertain of the relationship between the macOS section of https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/web/download and the first two paragraphs of LM §1.4. Cheers, David.
