This isn't just a technical problem but one where Apple's own 
licensing/GPL (as far as I understand it) prevents us from being able to 
do this.

There have been many discussions on this topic on the developer message

For example:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2019-03/msg00024.html

(and all relevant threads from it).

It can be made to work I believe just we cannot do it legally.

I am sure someone will tell me I am wrong.
