There is of course the 64-bit macports (https://www.macports.org/install.php) 
version of lilypond 2.22.2
It has ports for the Apple silicon systems (aarch64) as well as intel systems 
(x86_64):
https://ports.macports.org/port/lilypond/builds/?builder_name__name=12_arm64&builder_name__name=12_x86_64

Which appears to work fine on my M1 MacBook Pro (only just started using it; I 
used the intel-builds of MacPorts for Big Sur on my previous intel-based 
MacBook Pro and still use those on a Mac Pro 2013 that I still need to upgrade 
to Monterey some day)

The ‘quick install’ steps would be:
- install Xcode including commandine tools (see macports install page for 
details)
- Install MacPorts package (see macports install page for details)
- on the terminal: sudo port install lilypond

Kind regards,
Hans
