is lilypond in your path? Does emacs know about your path? In my
~/.emacs, I have
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "elisp" (getenv "HOME")))
(setq exec-path (split-string "/Users/jamesebailey/Applications/
LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/
bin:/usr/sbin" path-separator))
(setenv "PATH" (mapconcat 'identity exec-path ":"))
(setenv "MANPATH" "/Users/jamesebailey/share/man:/usr/share/man:/
usr/X11R6/man:/man")
(setenv "INFOPATH" "/Users/jamesebailey/share/info:/usr/local/info:/
usr/local/share/info:/usr/share/info")
