Other than reading it and retyping, no. It's like trying to make eggs
from omelets. Not to say it won't ever be possible. Think OCR.
Actually I do this quite regularly. My workflow is rather cumbersome and
could be improved, but it works for me.
1. Create image files from pdf.
2. Use SharpEye to do OCR
3. Correct OCR in SharpEye
4. Export to MusicXML
5. Export MusicXML to Noteworthy
6. Recorrrect and add tweaks.
7. Export Noteworthy and translate to .ly
8. Create PDF in LilyPond
It sounds long-winded but I bet I could beat a manual retyper for any
reasonable score.
