Read the announcement for version 2.23.6 posted today.
There is now an official solution for recent macOS.
It's not a LilyPond.app, but you can still drop fonts
into it.

Keep in mind that it's a development release.

If you still want to continue with this setup (for example
because it's a stable version), please post the error messages.
It is hard to tell the problem without them.
