I had the same 'problem'.. It is indeed not that easy. That's why I now tried the latest Lyx version, which includes the possibility to include lilypond code, and it uses, as far as I know, lilypond-book as backend, but it is hidden, so no command line is needed. Perhaps you could give that a try.. grtz, Bart
