Brett,
I am also using Lilypond on Mac OS X. The Python script is how you run
Lilypond in the terminal as well. Open a terminal and type
lilypond -h
If you get the Lilypond help output, then you're all set to use Lilypond
in the terminal with commands from Chapter 5. (If not, see the README
instructions for correctly configuring it) For example, to generate a PNG
at a resolution of 200, you enter
lilypond --png --dresolution=200 filename.ly
This should produce a PNG instead of a PDF. There is also an option for
PS.

how
do I get the output as something other than PDF? Specifically, I want
PNG, but PS would also be useful. Obviously I can't use the GUI to
achieve this, so I'm assuming (hoping) that there is a way to invoke
Lilypond via the command line in Terminal that will let me specify the
output format I want. Can anyone clear this up for me?
See chapter 5, 'Running LilyPond'
Sorry, that doesn't help - I'm using the GUI application on Mac OS X,
not a version that runs from the command line.
The ReadMe file that came with the installer provides a shell script
that uses Python to call Lilypond, and I've been able to use this in
conjunction with jEdit, but I don't know how I would modify this script
to get different output formats.
