Philippe Massart is working on a LaTeX package that allow to use
LilyPond characters in LaTeX.
He spoke a little about it on the French users mailing list:
http://lilypond-french-users.1298960.n2.nabble.com/Integrer-les-caracteres-de-Lilypond-dans-LaTeX-td4220131.html
(see also John's message).

It would be interesting to contact him (because the thread I linked is
quite old).  It would be great if —thanks to your combined efforts—
you could offer a real, great, official LaTeX package to include
LilyPond characters!

Cheers,
Xavier
