Wow, it would be great to do that wouldn't it! And its great to know NtEd does so. Unfortunately there are technical restrictions getting lilypond imported to nted, since lilypond does not yet export musicxml (although this is being discussed, to allow, among other things, export of lilypond to braille). In the mean time, it should be possible to import midi into nted in order to produce the "running note" automation, but unfortunately, the resultant score will be generated by nted and will probably require tweaks in an attempt to match the original. Unfortunately, other techniques for generating "running note" automation such as modifying lilypond itself, are currently beyond the scope of this project. If however you can live without the "running note" automation, ob-lilypond can already render as score, and play as sound simultaneously. See http://github.com/mjago/ob-lilypond for more details.
