Yes, but if the score has any lyrics or textual indications, they
will be typeset with bitmapped fonts. If you want vector fonts,
I would recommend
dvips -E -Ppdf -u+lilypond -u+ec-mftrace myScore.dvi -o myScore.eps

(If you find it hard to remember all these flags, just run
lilypond --verbose to see what flags it uses when calling dvips,
then just use 'man dvips' to find out about the -E flag.)

If the score is a single line, it's easier to use
lilypond --preview myScore.ly
and use the resulting myScore.preview.ps directly as an EPS file.
