A decade ago, I tried to use Lilypond for the whole deal… but soon found out it
was not powerful or flexible enough.
Here’s my workflow:
1. Generate the score in Lilypond, saved as a PDF.
2. Edit the "wrapper" in LaTeX, with the PDF score included at the appropriate
place.
3. Generate a final PDF (with title page, frontmatter, score, and endmatter)
directly from LaTeX.

I’m on Mac, so I use TeXShop.

It’s both possible and convenient… but the results are a little less satisfying
(to my eye).

Yes. That’s also possible in LaTeX, of course.
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
