I don't think you'll find such a thing, because people who care about
notation will never use untweaked output from other programs.  LilyPond
just uses another paradigm.  People are used to tweaking scores, and
proud*) to be good at it, see for example

*) if you can make beautiful scores with score or finale, you are
   a typesetting expert and you should be proud of that.
