If you want to work exclusively in LilyPond, you could use \markup to 
help with the columnar layout.

Consider the following pattern:

%%%%
\version "2.19.83"

\markup {
  \override #'(span-factor . 31/64)
  \fill-line {
    \column { Left
      \score { \repeat unfold 4 { s1 \break }
        \layout {
          indent = 0 ragged-right = ##f line-width = 3.6\in
          \context { \Score
            \omit Clef \omit TimeSignature \omit BarNumber \omit BarLine
          }
        }
      }
    }
    \column { Right
      \draw-hline \draw-hline \draw-hline
      \draw-hline \draw-hline \draw-hline
      \draw-hline \draw-hline \draw-hline
    }
  }
}
%%%%
