When I'd try to Typeset the code, 
I kept getting 
"set: Variable name must begin with a letter"
  
what did I do wrong?
  
I followed these directions from 
http://ivo.bouwmans.name/lilypondleopard/#TeXShop :

B. LilyPond & TeXShop

step 1: Download LilyPond and TeXShop

Download the latest stable release of LilyPond and 
put LilyPond.app in your Applications 
folder.

step 2: Create an engine file for TeXShop

Create a LilyPond.engine file containing the following two lines, 
and put it in the 
~Library/TeXShop/Engines directory:

#!/bin/tcsh
set path= 
($path /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin) 
lilypond --pdf "$1"

Using Terminal, make the engine file executable 
by the command
chmod +x

step 3: Create your music

Use TeXShop to make, edit and save a .ly file.
Select LilyPond from the Engines pull-down menu in TeXShop to create the pdf
