Actually, the package does define some aliases which should allow mostly 
for a `\usepackage` drop in.  Full compatibility, however, I don't think 
is possible because of command conflict:

It is not possible to have a command named `\lilypond` and an 
environment named `lilypond` in the same LaTeX document.  Internally, 
`\newenvironment{lilypond}` defines two commands: `\lilypond` and 
`\endlilypond` (which correspond to `\begin{lilypond}` and 
`\end{lilypond}`).  The former command will conflict with attempts to 
define `\lilypond` as an independent command (raising an "Command 
already defined" error).  Since lilypond-book is a preprocessor which 
swaps out these sections for valid code based on `\includegraphics` it 
can ignore this LaTeX restriction.  Since lyluatex functions from within 
LaTeX, it cannot.
