I don't think so.

Have a look at 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2015-01/msg00016.html
Download the attached test.tex, run lualatex --version. If your lualatex is 
version 0.87
or higher, add "\usepackage{shellesc}" after "\usepackage{graphicx}" and don't 
forget to
adapt the line "\def\lilycommand{/mypath/to/lilypond }" according to your setup.

test.tex shows how you can use individual snippets of lilypond code as TeX 
objects.
Nothing prevents you from writing every system of your score as a lilyfrag 
block.

Of course \vfill. \newpage and all other TeX commands will work as expected 
outside
of those lilyfrag blocks.
