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
