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.
