Yes, there is.

I am on the run so this message is incomplete, but have a look at [1].

There I am using lilypond to create eps's, one file per line, and 
including thoose in something else (in my case latex).

You could use lilypond in the same way, adding a step to convert the 
one-line eps's to pdfs. Be aware of that thoose one-line eps's don't 
contain fonts. The font can be extracted from the full page eps and 
possible added at the eps -> pdf stage.
Though I think in 2.11 the one-line eps's include the fonts.
