If all that LilyPond and TeX stuff above seems a little arcane, you could use ABC software (recommend abcm2ps from the ABC Plus project) to create encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files of your music bits and embed them as graphics into a Microsoft Word document. Word doesn't make a very good typesetting system for large manuscripts but if that's what you're comfortable with, people do use it that way.

You may want a graphics utility capable of converting the EPS files to Windows Metafile (WFM) format so you can actually see them in your Word document as you're working. If you prefer the Microsoft Office route, Microsoft Publisher is also an option.
