At a more general level: What kind of scores do you want to use in the 
text document: "music examples" (i.e. single system excerpts), scores 
(i.e. multi system or even full-page) or inline within paragraphs?

Of course you can try to insert PDF, EPS, SVG or PNG files in text 
documents, then the option -dpreview may be of use for you (creating a 
cropped file with only the first system), or using \include 
"lilypond-book-preamble.ly", which will produce cropped PDF files for 
each system of your score.
