I found this: https://superuser.com/questions/548119/how-do-i-configure-custom-url-handlers-on-os-x and downloaded SwiftDefaultApps. It works on High Sierra, don't know about El Capitan, but if not it seems that RCDefaultApp should do the trick for you. 

Can you be more specific?
What do you mean with "it works"?
Which command did you assign for textedit protocol?
Yesterday I read a similar answer and installed RVDefaultApp. Now I can set which application should open textedit:// URIs. However I cannot set the text editor directly, as the text editor cannot handle this protocol.
I guess I should use lilypond-invoke-editor but, as I've already reported, I could not make it work on either Mac or Windows. 

It looks like it's the last step to get what I want.
OK, then you are in more or less the same situation as me - you need a small helper app that takes the URI and invokes your editor. I have a small AppleScript app which does this (I think I got the base for it from the LilyPond site ages ago): 



Ok, good to know there may be a solution.
I don't have a Mac to test it until Wednesday/Thursday, but I will make a try this week. 


roperty urlPrefix : "textedit://"

on replaceText(find, replace, subject)
        set prevTIDs to text item delimiters of AppleScript
        set text item delimiters of AppleScript to find
        set subject to text items of subject

        set text item delimiters of AppleScript to replace
        set subject to "" & subject
        set text item delimiters of AppleScript to prevTIDs

        return subject
end replaceText

on open location texteditURL

        -- strip prefix
        set the character_count to the number of characters of the urlPrefix
set the emacsclientURL to (characters (the character_count + 1) thru -1 of the texteditURL) as string 

        -- extract PATH LINE and COLUMN
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
        set emacsclientPATH to first text item of emacsclientURL
        set emacsclientLINE to second text item of emacsclientURL
        set emacsclientCOLUMN to third text item of emacsclientURL
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""

        set emacsclientPATH to replaceText("%20", "\\ ", emacsclientPATH)

        -- launch emacsclient
do shell script "/Applications/Eddie/tellEddie " & quoted form of emacsclientPATH & ":" & emacsclientLINE & ":" & emacsclientCOLUMN 

end open location
As the syntax is not Emacs, I guess that Eddie is the editor you want to use and all the emacsclient variables are just the variables you took from the original example. (BTW, I don't think you found it on lilypond website)
My problem now is that SwiftDefaultApps silently fails to set this as the textedit target, possibly because my info.plist is too old (it has worked in the past): 




This is the info.plist of which application? Eddie?

Have you tried other text editors?
You may try Atom (see atom.io website). Its syntax (not yet documented) is the same as above example: `atom file:line:column`.

I have not yet had time to find out what the problem is - you may be luckier.
