You can use some external application to create an empty one-page PDF with only the crop marks and use, e.g., pdftk with its "stamp" or "background" function to overlay the book and the crop marks. If you need to increase the paper size of your Lilypond output and don't want to modify the source, pdfjam with options --noautoscale true --papersize '{21cm,29.7cm}' is your friend.

For creating the crop marks: Inkscape will do if you want to design them yourself (or got a template from the print shop). Otherwise, I recommend to use Scribus; it offers several printer marks (crop, bleed, registration, color bars) on its Pre-Press tab on PDF export. Just create a new doc, adjust page size, export, done.

Thanks Alexander

Tonight I'll try this way
