Or, another way to approach the matter.... is there an easier way to
register ".ly" file extensions so that one can just do the following?

$ open -a LilyPond example.ly

I've already configured my machine to always open that file extension
with LilyPond.app, but if there's an easier way to do it, maybe it's
more idiomatic for Mac users.
