Looking briefly at what NooJ seems to do, I assume you want to get
access to a music corpus in Lilypond format to do some analysis on.
Carlo has already suggested a possible way of translating scanned
files to Lilypond notation. However, there is also the Mutopia Project
(http://www.mutopiaproject.org) that contains quite a lot of music
in Lilypond format. Maybe that can get you started?
