I've encountered a similar situation while transcribing Cherubini's counterpoint treaty: the most reliable and sane way for me was to write the document down with a TeX processor (LuaLaTex + lylua). Going full Lilypond on musical documents is really difficult, specially when notation isn't the main factor... But at least we can freely choose what software and strategy to use!
