Does LyX work with windows? Maybe with cygwin? If so I have some scripts for integrating LyX with Lily. It's all a bit experimental at the moment, so I am a bit wary of releasing it, but it works for me. If you think it might help I can gather all the bits together and add some instructions, but I won't have time to do this till Friday
