The LilyPond mode, as currently distributed with LilyPond, is rather unmaintained; AFAICS, the future is Saul Tobin's 'lilypond-ts-mode' https://github.com/shevvek/lilypond-ts-mode which provides much better parsing for both LilyPond and Scheme code in the same file, so please try this and make suggestions there.
