I strongly recommend trying out lylua! As you can import Lilypond files straight to the processor, you only headbutt the TeX processor and the TeX language.
Like I said, TeX and lylua work best when notation ain't the main actor: Cherubini's treaty could be written without any notation and still would be somewhat understandable. It isn't in this, but that's the beauty of things: diverse alternatives. As per Kieren's question, I'm using Urs Liska's lyluatex package (available in CTAN). I don't know of another Lilypond code integration in TeX; other options would be importing the output images or using specific environments of the TeX language. Side note: unfortunately, I didn't get to know Urs before his passing... However, I always cite him with regards to TeX and serialist music! My programming knowledge is limited, but I've managed to like and understand TeX and the lylua integration. I'd said lylua works best than LibreOffice's oOOOoLilypond plugin (which is still a great plugin!).
