Re: No menu

Easily.  You'll want to have at look at section 2.1.1 Setup for mac  
osx in the Application Usage documentation. There you'll get well- 
written instructions on running lilypond on osx.

Also, since you're using nano, I'm including my .nanorc file. If you  
put this in your home folder, whenever you open a lilypond file in  
nano, it will show up with some syntax coloring that I at least found  
helpful. It also has some helpful things if you want to use nano with  
LaTeX files. You have to rename the file from nanorc to .nanorc in  
order to use it, and you'll probably have to do this in the  
terminal.app application, since osx usually doesn't let you put a .  
as the first character of the file. So, if you have the file in your  
Downloads folder, in the terminal, type
cp ~/Downloads/nanorc ~/.nanorc
and it should work.

nanorc
Description: Binary data

Also, it's a good idea to send questions like this to the lilypond  
list. Others may have similar questions in the future, and there is  
an archive kept of all of these emails.
