That's the Homebrew Cask formula. Those do not build anything, they just
install pre-built applications. The Brew formula for lilypond was removed
some years ago because it needed Guile 1.6 and at that time Homebrew did
not support multiple versions of the same library. That is no longer a
problem and in addition, Homebrew now has a buildbot that automatically
produces binaries for multiple OS and CPU versions (
https://docs.brew.sh/Bottles). So, it would be a good thing to update the
Brew formula and get it back into Homebrew.
