If I understand you correctly you are expecting a normal Mac graphical
interface with a menu.  Lilypond is not that kind of a program
(application).  It is not point-and-click.  You must enter the commands
to create the music into some kind of editor and then run the LilyPond
program to convert this into printed (or midi) music.  This not normally
done with drop-down menus.

You need to read some of the manual before attempting to run LilyPond.
