330 The most convenient way to run lilypond scripts is by setting up
331 @qq{helper} scripts of your own.
336 Create a directory to store these scripts,
345 Create a file called @command{lilypond} which contains
347 @divClass{h-scroll-auto}
349 exec @var{DIR}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@@"
353 @warning{@var{DIR} will generally be @code{/Applications/}}
357 Create similar files @command{lilypond-book},

359 replacing the @command{bin/lilypond} with @command{bin/convert-ly}
360 (or other program name).
364 Make the file executable,
372 Now, add this directory to your path. Modify (or create) a file
373 called @code{.profile} in your home directory such that it
377 export PATH=$PATH:~/bin

391 Scripts can also be run from the command line by invoking them
