Hello,

Combining gregorio and lilypond wasn't something I'd tried before, but
looking at lilypond-book.py -- There's a command line option
--latex-program that changes which TeX compiler is invoked.  With
this, a file containing both gregorio (using \includescore) and
lilypond (using \lilypondfile) scores compiled for me with lamed or
lualatex. An example workflow:

$ lilypond-book --latex-program=lamed --output=out myscorefile.tex
$ cd out
$ lamed myscorefile.tex
$ dvips myscorefile
$ ps2pdf myscorefile.ps

pdflualatex also worked, after calling lilypond-book with the extra
command-line option --pdf. Sometimes extra care was needed to make
sure the lilypond scores fit inside the TeX document's page margins,
but everything else looked okay (I haven't done extensive tests
though). Does such a process work for you?

One could also just invoke lilypond to create a graphics file (eps or
pdf, depending on which you need), and include that in a main LaTeX
file which contains gregorio scores -- here's the relevant
documentation:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Alternate-methods-of-mixing-text-and-music#Alternate-methods-of-mixing-text-and-music


Hope that helps,

Tracy
