I use Terminal and vim to do my LilyPond editing.  I have two terminal
windows open:  one with vim, and one with the lilypond command.  I write the
file from the vim window, switch to the command window, hit the up arrow key
and the enter key, then switch to the Preview window to see how things came
out.

I use Preview to display my PDF files.

I use TeXShop form my LaTeX work.

I've not done any work with lilypond-book; it's on my to-do list for my
hoped-for guitar songbook.

As far as a starting point, try the two *.latex files found in
Documentation/user.  That should get you started.

HTH,
