And SUCCESS!  I have a working 64-bit Mac .app bundle build of LilyPond
2.19.83, and I just used it to typeset a chamber work of mine without
problems.  Build info (such as it is) is at the Gist at
https://gist.github.com/marnen/137b056d95b1c8400af8f823dced54f0 ; I'll be
putting this into a proper repo and automating it for CI (probably either
GitLab CI or Buildkite) soon.

I'd really appreciate fellow Mac users testing the build and reporting any
issues you find.  (Karlin? Carl?)  You can download it at
https://drive.google.com/open?id=18b1nX5nJsBrzDBGqga9T753oCL8ilwqs ; it
should work on any recent version of Mac OS.  I'm particularly interested
in reports from Catalina users, but really, at this point, any information
is useful.

If it seems like it works, I'd recommend putting it on the website's
download page so that Mac users have something to work with...

Best,
