This is a LilyPond 2.23.3 installer, latest unstable release, for use on MacOS 12, \
made from MacPorts lilypond-devel, available on the link below [1]. Does not work on \
earlier MacOS versions.

It installs in /opt/lilypond/, with the program in /opt/lilypond/bin/lilypond, and \
/opt/lilypond/bin/ contains other LilyPond programs.

If you have already something installed in this directory, it may be prudent to \
remove it first. This can be done by the command sudo rm -rf /opt/lilypond

It may be the case that 'lilypond' is best to be run from a script that sets \
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (which otherwise on MacOS is LC_CTYPE=UTF-8). It can be created \
and installed as follows:

In Terminal write (^D is <control>D):
% cat > lilypond
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
exec /opt/lilypond/bin/lilypond "$@"
^D

% chmod a+x lilypond
% sudo -s cp lilypond /usr/local/bin/lilypond

The program can then be called by 'lilypond' in Terminal, as /usr/local/bin/ is in \
the system searchpath.

And do 'rm lilypond' if you do not want to keep the local copy of the script.
