I got it to work after all on Ubuntu Lucid:

I followed instructions in 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-06/msg00185.html 
(and Mark Knoop's follow-up at a lower speed). IFAIU, this configures 
Gnome apps to handle 'textedit' commands by invoking lilypond-invoke-editor.

The apparmor.d stuff:

Edit /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince to add the following 2 lines 
(replace /usr/ with the prefix of your Lilypond installation):

/usr/bin/lilypond-invoke-editor Ux,
/usr/bin/lilypond-wrapper.guile Ux,

The second line appears necessary because lilypond-invoke-editor is a 
symlink to lilypond-wrapper.guile which is actually executed.

Then

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload
