Lilypond is a typesetter in which you have to "program" your music.
Once it is done, you can launch "ly2dvi file.ly" in order to obtain a dvi output.


If you want a graphic interface (a GUI), you can try Rosegarden (http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden/) but I'm not sure if it run under OS X...

Good luck!

This is the message I receive after I type in /sw/bin/lilypond using terminal on OS X (10.2.3). I'm a complete unix newbie using FinkCommander to install unix apps. I've had success installing and launching The Gimp in the previously mentioned manner. When FinkCommander had finished installing Lilypond, I got the following message -

Installation Complete.
@@@ Start a new shell to get the correct lilypond environment settings.
* GNU LilyPond: (lilypond). The GNU music typesetter.
install-info(/sw/share/info/lilypond.info): no section specified for new entry, placing at end
* GNU LilyPond internals: (lilypond-internals). LilyPond internals.
install-info(/sw/share/info/lilypond-internals.info): creating new section `GNU music project'


Do you have any suggestions or solutions that will get me up and running Lilypond?
I thank you for your time and patience with a unix newbie.
