It does not work with any vector rendition of LilyPond output, so expect many more rasterization artifacts. Partly that is the fault of OpenOffice/LibreOffice for not being able to import _any_ free vector image format reliably. > to and then translate that to lilypondbook + snippets.

RE: publish music book
I used lilypond for my book, just published (https://www.createspace.com/4101334). I did find it difficult to use, but flexible, with beautiful results. The main problem that I had was getting the results into pdf through Word with the resolution reasonably intact. This is the procedure that I finally came up with: 1. Open pdf file in Fox Reader (Tools/Preferences/General check Use fixed resolution for snapshots and set to 300 dpi.) 2. In Word: Picture Tools/Format/Compress Pictures/Options, uncheck Automatically perform basic compression on save and set Target output ot 200 ppi. 3. Paste into Word. 4. Print pdf, make printer setting is on high quality.
