Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes when I first started the project (a PhD thesis) I was using lilypond-book, but I abandoned it for a couple of reasons, the main one being that lilypond-book placed systems too close together (it just uses a \linebreak), and as far as I could tell I had to go messing with macros to change that (something I know nothing about). Seeing as lilypond-book was just creating pdfs and including them as graphics I decided it would be simpler if I just did that myself. It had the beneficial side effects of meaning that I didn't have to give every file in the project a .lytex extension, and reducing the time it takes to have a look at what I'm doing (lilypond-book seems to ignore the \include command). If there's an easy way to get the nice (default) system-system-spacing variables that lilypond uses into lilypond-book I would consider going back to it. I have noticed that lilypond-book doesn't suffer from the same line-width problem that I have; looking at the code of some of its examples maybe it has something to do with the included lilypond-book-preamble.ly?
