This is explained in Chapter 13 lilypond-book: Integrating text and 
music.  There you will find that the integration is done with LaTeX, 
texinfo, and html.  If you are definitely using OpenOffice.org, you can 
probable insert pdf images into your document.  For more info, you'll 
have to consult somebody more familiar with OOo (possibly on this 
mailist).
