I know it doesn't solve the symlink problem, but here is what my
~/bin/lilypond looks like, and it works fine:

###
#!/bin/bash

LY_HOME="${LY_HOME:-/home/knute/lilypond/lilypond-2.23.7/bin}"
$LY_HOME/lilypond $@
###

If I want another version of LilyPond to execute, I can issue the commands:

$ export LY_HOME=/home/knute/lilypond/lilypond-2.22.2/bin
$ lilypond --version

GNU LilyPond 2.22.2
