My experience of "final touches" in general is that on the average you
have to
repeat the final touch at least 3 times, since you found some other
minor detail
you wanted to fix so that you had to rerun the full process again.
Therefore,
I personally prefer to spend more time on fixing the problem in the original
tool (LilyPond in this case) than it would take to do the final touch
(once) in
some other tool. The fixes you mention, placement of some objects,
are often fairly easy to obtain within LilyPond.
