        Hi Paul,
        
        if you're looking for a "WYSIWYG" solution comparable to
        OOoLilypond,
        you could give the newest LyX Release (LyX Version 1.4.4) a try,
        as it
        has now support for including lilypond snippets into the
        document.
        All I had to change in my lilypond files to include complete
        scores was
        adding \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly". To get inline
        snippets, you
        can add a ragged-right.
        This works fine for me.
