      No need to have a LilyPond.app! This path
      /Applications/LilyPond.app is
      just what you have if you download LilyPond 2.22 from the official
      website,
      but any installation of LilyPond (not necessarily a .app installed
      through a
      .dmg) has a directory for fonts. You could just as well install
      the font
      in the path where MacPorts installed LilyPond (not sure where that
      is exactly,
      I don't know MacPorts well).

      See the official download page:
      
      https://lilypond.org/development.html
      
      It's not a .dmg, but in fact simpler. The learning manual has a
      tutorial
      on installing it (it's the same link as in the other thread to see
      screenshots
      of how to tell Apple that it's malware-free):
