I made a standalone version using 'port mdmg lilypond-devel' which results in a 
lilypond-devel-2.19.82_4.dmg, on MacOS 10.13.6, and it is working after 
installing: I moved my /opt/ out of way, and it gets installed in a new 
directory /opt/. It is rather large though 1.86 GB compared to the LilyPond 
app, which is less than 100 MB.

The first time I ran the command above, I got an error (below), but running it 
again created the distribution.
