If graphichs insets are changed to convert to pdf when needed, then there is less need for the external inset. Anything that simply is converted to png/eps/pdf as needed with no further latex support, won't need an external inset then. Because the graphichs inset will have all support needed. Lilypond shouldn't need an external inset then? It is all about running a converter (the lilypond executable) in order to get a .eps, a .png or a .pdf depending on what you're doing.
