If lilypond master is spawned from a lualatex 1.0.4 process with 1023 open files it hits a hard limit:
lilypond -E --pdf -O TeX-GS -daux-files=\#t -dgs-load-fonts=\#t tmplily.ly then fails with >>tmplily.ly<< wird verarbeitet Analysieren... Interpretation der Musik...[8][16][24] Vorverarbeitung der grafischen Elemente... Ideale Seitenanzahl wird gefunden... Musik wird auf 7 oder 8 Seiten angepasst... Systeme erstellen... Layout nach >>tmplily.eps<< ausgeben... Konvertierung nach >>tmplily.pdf<<... *** buffer overflow detected ***: [...]/bin/lilypond terminated The nofile soft limit is 2048, gcc (SUSE Linux) 7.2.1 20171020 [gcc-7-branch revision 253932] is used. Part of the problem is that lualatex keeps all pdf files that are include via \includegraphics open, so reaching 1023 open files is possible. xelatex behaves differently - it does not keep files included by \includegraphics open.
