Make script called ‘lilypond’ somewhere in your PATH with the single line
exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "address@hidden

Then compile with
  lilypond <name>.ly

Open the output file with
  open <name>.pdf

Also try
  ls /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/
to see what other binaries are available.
