Hello Sarah, My setup it to use TeXShop, which is part of TeXLive, to edit the .ly files. A trick : in order not to lose the current selection or cursor positition when you re-activate an editor window, click in the gray background of its title bar, not in in the text pane below.
I compile the files in the Terminal with: lily myFile.ly The command can be called again with the up arrow of the keyboard. "lily" is defined as an alias in "${HOME}/.bashrc": alias lily="/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond --pdf" Another way round is to define a function in "${HOME}/.bashrc" to avoid typing the ".ly" extension of the file: function lil () { /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond --pdf ${1}.ly } and then "lil myFile" does the compilation. Sorry if I over-explained things you already know.
