The solution I use is a shareware Windows program called SharpEye (see http://www.visiv.co.uk); it can generate NIFF (a portable notation interface that seems nearly abandoned), and I wrote a filter to translate NIFF to lilypond, which is still fairly alpha.
SharpEye comes in two versions; both claim to expire in a month, but version 1 continues working without registration, at least for me. It is quite good, at least compared to the Optical Music Recognition stuff bundled with recent versions of Finale. On well-printed music it achieves >95% correct recognition -- which is still <=5% off... Version 1 does not handle dynamic signs, grace notes etc.
My filter can convert single-voiced NIFF to lilypond (incl chorded voices). If there are multiple voices per staff, my voicing analysis is still premature. One day I want to improve this -- maybe next holiday already. The filter does not support lyrics (yet), but there seems no reason why that cannot be added.
If anybody is interested in my filter: you are welcome to get it, just ask.

I am wondering if there is any development going on with OCR in Liliypond similar to Neuratron Photoscore for Sibelius.
Thank you, David Mays
