I make a script - an executable, which should be in the PATH (see below).
There are several ways to make a script:
One way is first making the text file in Terminal by
touch midi2ly
If you want use a text editor like Xcode, go to Terminal and write
open -a Xcode midi2ly
and paste in the line
exec /usr/bin/arch -i386 /usr/bin/python2.7
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/midi2ly "$@"
and save.
Alternatively, make the file directly by writing
cat > mid2ly
Paste in the same line as above followed by <control>D to end ‘cat’.
The set the executable permissions by
chmod a+x midi2ly
Check that it is right with
ls -l midi2ly
Then put in somewhere in the PATH. In later OS X, /usr/local/bin/ is in the
searchpath, but putting it there requires ‘sudo’ permissions (unless changed as
some running homebrew do). But to do that write
sudo cp midi2ly /usr/local/bin/
By using ‘cp’ rather than ‘mv’, the other file metadata becomes right.
Otherwise, you might make a directory ~/bin/, make sure it is in the PATH by
changing .profile. Then ‘sudo’ isn’t needed.
