It should be in /usr/local/ -- the stuff in /usr/ without that belongs to the 
system installation, and should normally not be changed. OS X 10.7 knows the 
difference, so that /usr/local/ is copied over when importing files from a 
backup.

And include/ is for system specific files, whereas share/ is for system 
independent files. So both might be used. Candidates
  /usr/local/include/lilypond/
  /use/local/share/lilypond/
or something.

I think of this as the application version of ~/.<name> files. In OS X 10.7, 
~/Library is invisible in the GUI.
