Yes this does work, but doing it this way causes all sorts of other
problems. For instance it is then not possible to combine it with other
converters (e.g. if you wish to view the final postscript). I have come
up with a kludge, I start lyx a script that sets an environmental
variable to the pwd which the converter script then picks up. This has
the drawback that I need a separate invocation of lyx for every lilypond
score I am working on. It beats having to export to a latex file and
call lilypond-book by hand, but it would be much neater if the directory
of the lyx document could be passed as a parameter to the converter.

BTW are the converter flags documented anywhere?
