Try event-listener.ly 
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/saving-music-events-to-a-file). 
It gives you a "database dump" of all the events in a file. You can 
either process this output with other programs, or use a custom fork of 
event-listener.ly that does the statistics for you.
