I believe this is bug in the software that LilyPond depends on, MacOS sets 
LC_CTYPE=UTF-8, and does not set LANG.

I use a script to call it from named ‘lilypond', which can be put in 
/usr/local/bin/lilypond:
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
exec /opt/lilypond/bin/lilypond "$@“

It can be created and installed as follows: In Terminal write (^D is <control 
D>)
% cat > lilypond
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
exec /opt/lilypond/bin/lilypond "$@“
^D

% chmod a+x lilypond
% sudo -s cp lilypond /usr/local/bin/lilypond

And 'rm lilypond' if you do not want to keep the script.
