Are you sure? 

As I understand the docs of lilypond-book, it is a preprocessor that
works by extracting snippets of lilypond notation, transforming them to
EPS or PDF graphics and inserting a graphic-loading command in their
place.

No.

But if used according to its specification (small musical examples in a
book), LaTeX should handle them nice. If I remember right, you can also
place the lilypond snipped inside a flaot.

Not that I know of.
