Lilycall should be deprecated. Just run the lilypond binary directly.
Will do.
Graham, I know the manual is feature-ready and in a wait state for
final release. If it's easy to add, we might insert into 13.2
something like "To invoke LilyPond from the commandline under OS X,
run path/to/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond. The same is
true of the other scripts in the /bin directory, including
lilypond-book, convert-ly, abc2ly, etc."
