This is very exciting. I use LilyPond a lot for various projects and I think integration with orgmode is an obvious solution to a problem I hope to find very soon!
LilyPond is largely written in Scheme and I'm pretty sure a few of the devs use emacs. There are some interesting emacs/Lily projects around, not least Nicolas Sceaux' lyqi-mode which does some pretty groovy things, including midi keyboard input via rumor. I'm looking forward to having a chance to play with this. Well done, and thank you!
