I'd like to add that the actual development is partly taking place in 
the development version of Frescobaldi, perhaps someone has seen the 
menu element there and wondered. It's still very basic and limited so I 
would definitely hesitate to promote any real use of it besides for 
testing purposes.

Stefan, maybe it could be interesting to know something of the level of 
complexity of the LilyPond code you wish to export or even a short 
example. Then at least I could tell you how far away a successful export 
is at this point.
