Extension:LilyPond

What can this extension do?

Ma- ry had a lit- tle lamb, its fleece was white as snow. } \book{ \score{ << \new Voice = "one" { \melody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text >>    \layout { } \midi { } }  \markup{ \wordwrap-string #"    Verse 2.     All the children laughed and played,     To see a lamb at school." } }

will yield this image:
