I'm not sure I understand what it is you want to do with this plugin.  If it 
is just a matter of updating the pdf once you have edited the .ly file, 
Scribus has a feature where you can select your pdf image and there is an 
Update feature.  I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect you could just do your 
editing, create your pdf, go over to Scribus and Update your image.
