I tend to just use M-x compile RET and specify my command manually.

You can also use M-x add-dir-local-variable RET
in order to customize LilyPond-lilypond-command for one
directory/subdirectory.  There are also file-local variables you can set
at the end of a file using a variable block if you need this setting
just for a single file.

Of course you can also use
M-x customize-variable RET LilyPond-lilypond-command RET
to set this globally, but it would likely be a nuisance.  Doing it
dir-locally is probably the most convenient option.
