Hehe – just use LaTeX ;-)

I stumbled across this problem some time ago and found

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond

which might work or not, but since this project would have been the 
first try to get a grip with ConTeXt and I didn't manage to get even
the stuff mentioned in this link up and running, I decided to use
XeLaTeX and lilypond-book for the simple reason that I find it easier to
find help on the web concerning LaTeX-specific problems ;-)

You may find that the spacing between staff lines is not optimal
when using lilypond-book, but a suitable definition for 
\betweenLilyPondSystem may help in this case.
