I know you said you don't want to use lilypond-book for this, but you 
really ought to give it a try.  It works great.  It's the only way I 
know of to use just the lilypond code for musical examples as you seem 
to want.  I have it working beautifully with BibTeX for the 
bibliography, too.  I don't know how to use LyX with lilypond-book, but 
it doesn't take long to get used to the LaTeX syntax and it's very easy 
just to use a text editor instead.

Best,

Jon
