If you want a LilyPond-TeX integration (without the need to call  
external tools by hand), have a look at ConTeXt and its LilyPond module:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond

But beware: it runs only with LP 2.10 at the moment (commandline  
syntax changed with 2.11, and some other syntax changed from 2.8 or  
2.9) and the inline snippets probably don't work.
I succeeded to typeset a songbook with it, though.

i.e. you'd need to have installed:
- recent pdfTeX
- recent ConTeXt (newer than August 2007)
- LilyPond 2.10.x
- GhostScript
The module is reported to work with MikTeX (most ConTeXt users use  
some teTeX flavour).
