One more thought on the issue (hopefully the last for this morning):
Looking at the wiki pages for LibreOffice extension development I saw
that extensions can be written in a number of languages including
Python. The sample project
https://github.com/kunaldeo/Py-LibreOffice-Love-Letter-Writer/ also
seems to make use of PyQt, so I thought it might be an even better idea
to create a LilyPond extension for LibreOffice from scratch. This could
then at least provide syntax highlighting (I must say that the visual
appearance of the extension was also somewhat off-putting) and over the
time one could add lightweight editing features to it (although it
should not actually double Frescobaldi's functionality).
In this context it would also be straightforward to add UI to configure
the output (PNG/EPS, size/resolution etc.).

I think that looks promising. What do you think?
