You first need to get lilypond working from Terminal, otherwise asking
any other question on the ConTeXt mailing list won't really help much.

I created a shell script "lilypond" somewhere in PATH, containing

#!/bin/bash
exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"

but I don't remember if that ever worked properly.

At the moment I get

> lilypond test.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.18.2

and then it just consumes processor forever without producing any
result. I'm not eager to start debugging right now, but just to let
you know that getting lilypond to work from terminal is a prerequisite
for getting the module to work.
