I actually ended up doing a bit of coding to extract the data from
"standard" one-column index in the PDF produced by Lilypond, fed the data
into LaTeX to produce a nice-looking two column version, and then splicing
in my index in place of the one in the Lilypond PDF.  It seems to be
working like a charm for me.

Thanks for the advice,
