Here is a modified version, that calls `lilypond` only when needed by computing

A good idea.

What about making a package out of that and putting it on CTAN ? It would be 
more universal than lyluatex, so I think many could be interrested. And why not 
put it on a public repository, to have bug reports and feature requests ?

Well, I think lilypond-user is a good place to publish code related to a lilypond/latex interface. Yes, it would be possible to make a latex .sty file and publish it on CTAN - but there are projects that are more important to me right now. Before I'd think of putting a style based on this code on CTAN, at least the following problems should be solved:

 * Extended error handling is necessary.
 * A check if write18 really is available should be implemented.
 * A check for supported ghostscript / lilypond versions should be implemented.
 * We must adapt command lines to the ghostscript / lilypond versions found.
 * Support also win/mac platforms.
 * Support of pure latex.
 * Optionally synchronize global-staff-size to the design size of the latex 
document class.
 * Some code to optionally synchronize fonts and fontsizes used by latex and 
lilypond would be nice.
 * It should be possible to automatically deleted temporary files.
 * Everything should be properly documented.
 * ...

Nothing of that is complicated, but it takes some time.
