338 The most convenient way to run lilypond scripts is by setting up
339 @qq{helper} scripts of your own.
344 Create a directory to store these scripts,
353 Create a file called @command{lilypond} which contains
355 @divClass{h-scroll-auto}
357 exec @var{DIR}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@@"
361 @warning{@var{DIR} will generally be @code{/Applications/}}
365 Create similar files @command{lilypond-book},
366 @command{convert-ly}, and any other scripts you wish to use, by
367 replacing the @command{bin/lilypond} with @command{bin/convert-ly}
368 (or other program name).
372 Make the file executable,
380 Now, add this directory to your path. Modify (or create) a file
381 called @code{.profile} in your home directory such that it
385 export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
388 This file should end with a blank line.
393 @subsubheading Invoking individual scripts
395 The scripts --- such as @command{lilypond-book}, @command{convert-ly},
396 @command{abc2ly}, and even @command{lilypond} itself --- are included
397 inside the @code{.app} file for MacOS@tie{}X.
399 Scripts can also be run from the command line by invoking them
402 @divClass{h-scroll-auto}
404 @var{path/to}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond
408 The same is true for all other scripts in that directory, such as
