Proper collaboration tools aren't easy either, but there are solutions like Etherpad. It's open and can be enhanced with plugins, so would a collaborative text editor with a (possibly autorefreshing) preview from LilyPond constitute as a GUI for your scenario? No autocompletion though and no GUI like hacklily.org...
