Unfortunately, that's not going to happen soon.  Even small, local
publishers (i've asked some not long ago) are not interested in
anything else than Finale/Sibelius.  I predict that it will take 3-5
years before any major publisher begins using LilyPond, let alone
switching significant part of the production to it - they are just too
set in stone.  And that's assuming some improvements in LilyPond.  And
some significant editions created with LilyPond by independent
publishers.
