Hi,
I've only used Lilypond for play, but I'd appreciate a Babel module
for Lilypond, if someone writes one.
My use case, for which I think Org is perfect, is maintaining simple
song collections: short scores interspersed with lyrics, printable as
a booklet. It is doable now but could clearly be done better with Babel.
So if someone's thinking about ob-lilypond, integration with
lilypond-book as a post-processing step would be useful.
Yours,
Christian

project "addictive" (in the nicest possible manner): the concept
is rather similar to writing TeX, there is very good Emacs support
(if you know where to look), it is all OpenSource, there is
extensive documentation (in LaTeX format with embedded lilypond
snippets), the print quality is excellent.

recently, I noticed that Org-mode might be helpful in this context
- it is probably already possible by tweaking org-babel a bit:
lilypond encourages the user to structure music in a way that
lends itself rather naturally to processing with Org-mode - you
can assign a theme, a few bar with notes or even whole voices to
variables and use them repeatedly. And imagine using Org-mode's
outline capabilities to structure a piece of music. Exporting an
org-file with lilypond-snippets in it to PDF or HTML might also be
an interesting option.

I think this is very exciting.
