If you're sure that your score will never change and that you'll never want to 
share the .ly files it with anyone, then there is no downside.  However, if you 
want the score to be flexible in case you need to change it and if you want 
others to be able to edit it, I'd steer clear of the Inkscape solution.  I've 
tried it several times as an expedient and, like many expedients, one regrets 
them later on.
