If I understanding correctly how lilypond is to be used I see two options:
- Create new output target Lilypond (Docbook) for people specifically 
interested into lilypnd
- Silently detect in docbook2epub.py if 1) lilypond is needed 2) lilypond is 
available
  and run necessary conversion behind the users back
