Hi again,
in my current songbook project I use t-filter with LilyPond as shown in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond with latest beta MkIV on OSX.
Every line (system) of notes is included as its own PDF to leave the page
breaking to ConTeXt. But since I have some hundred songs with each a few lines,
it sums up...
I guess ConTeXt keeps every externalfigure open, since I get this error:

It works with songbook excerpts (some 30 songs). I don't understand if the
error is really from LilyPond or from LuaTeX (I guess the former), and how I
would be able to increase the number of possible files (in bash on OSX 10.8.4).
So probably it's more a general Unix question than a ConTeXt one, but anyway...
ANALYSIS:
$ ulimit -n
256
$ sysctl kern.maxfiles
kern.maxfiles: 12288
$ sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc
kern.maxfilesperproc: 10240
SOLUTION:
$ ulimit -S -n 2048
(Properly describing a problem often helps to solve it. I send this for the
records, in case someone runs into the same.)
afaik the limit for simultaneous open pdf files in luatex is 2K so it's
indeed your operating system
