A while back I had been playing with the idea of getting LilyPond building with HomeBrew and what I had at that point is available at https://github.com/Jahrme/homebrew-lilypond. In addition to the Guile issue already mentioned, last I checked HomeBrew dependencies on anything LaTeX related were not well supported. In the end, I’ve moved to using MacPorts instead of HomeBrew so I haven’t kept the release current and I’m sure it would need some work. As has been mentioned, MacPorts builds 64-bit binaries (I believe even on the new M1 Macs) and is kept pretty much up to date for new LilyPond releases. There has been a fair amount of work done to slim down the list of dependencies needed, and I still think that with a bit of effort MacPorts could be used to produce redistributable .pkg installers of a reasonable size.
