Hey José.

If you are willing to learn, you should first try compiling lilypond from
the source on the git repository.  Google ³compiling lilypond² for the
documentation.  This takes about a day (if you¹re lucky ­ I was lucky, and I
still had to update/download many-a-program and do a manual override on my
config file to get it to find certain fonts).  Once you have a lilypond git
repository established, let me know.  If this sounds un-fun, I would very
much recommend waiting until this becomes part of lilypond: compiling
lilypond requires comfort with the shell Terminal that is rather far adrift
from the Mac OS X prefab version of lilypond.  Word on the street is that
this process will be easier in future versions of lilypond, although that is
not a part of lilypond development that I know well, and I am not competent
enough to tell you how far away that is from being a reality.

I would also not suggest copy-and-pasting my new scheme and postscript files
into your working directory ­ it is generally bad practice.  If you do this
and there winds up being a bug that I didn¹t catch, you will have another
problem on your hands that is much more precipitous than the potential
problems associated with compiling.

Again, compiling is a serious time and learning commitment that you should
ONLY bring upon yourself if you want to develop.  Otherwise, I will do my
best to integrate your recommendations into the work I¹ve already done, and
as Carl said, this will be part of lilypond in the not too distant future
:-)

Cheers,
~Mike
