LyX is only a front end for TeX/LaTeX and there is no need to use it
if all you want is TeX or LaTeX.
Probably you you would be much better off if you work with your favorite editor
and tex it by hand.
LaTeX is to be preferred only if you write a document with much text and little
music. Otherwise plain TeX is not only sufficient but even better because
it uses less registers.
For the preprocessors that save so much time, LyX is no help anyway.
For a frontend, you can write a simple script yourself or you can modify one
that is used by other members of the list.
