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
