cannot import Lilypond files #60

The music21 converter doesn't have a parser for the Lilypond format, but it has 
parsers for some arguably less popular formats.

Because the Lilypond format is extremely complex, as far as I know, there is no 
parser except Lilypond itself that can read Lilypond notation.  Lilypond's .ly 
files can define Scheme functions that can allow for very complex notation, but 
makes it almost impossible for a program not written in Scheme to produce 
itself.  This would need to be an enhancement request for a lilypond 
programmer.  For the near and medium-term future, Lilypond will be a write-only 
format for music21.
