My Lilypond is installed in an app and Frescobaldi is not able to find it.  And 
I’m not able to put the app in the path in the preference dialog.
I’ve tried copying the executable to my bin folder and set the path to that, 
but it still is not found.

What’s the trick here?

Include the real LilyPond executable (within the app) in your PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin

Use this line in a ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile file.

this is very handy (and I would recommend it, too) may you need to use LilyPond from the command line, but it is not necessary to make Frescobaldi use LilyPond.

Go to Frescobaldi's Preferences -> LilyPond Preferences: you probably have only one entry in the list. Edit it and in the LilyPond Command field choose the LilyPond application (the typical value of the text box will be `/Applications/LilyPond.app`, no need to go inside the application bundle).
Then click OK and Frescobaldi should be able to find and use LilyPond.

If this does not work, then there is either a bug in Frescobaldi or a fault in your setup.
Please let me know in any case.

Best wishes.
Davide


P.S. This should not have happened in the first place: with the default settings (before you edit the LilyPond list) Frescobaldi should automatically find either /Applications/LilyPond.app or /opt/local/bin/lilypond (from MacPorts), if they are present. I'd like to find out why this did not happen: let me know if you are willing to help me with a couple of tests. :)
