Using Lua as a 'real' programming language within a LaTeX document could offer an opportunity to implement lilypond-book's functionality in musicexamples:
store LilyPond code directly in the LaTeX document (or as a reference to an external file)
compile the example (if necessary) during the LaTeX run
and replace it with the resulting pdf
The advantage over lilypond-book is obvious: no need for an intermediate file and consequently no need for handling the numerous files or path issues
Of course this is a 'big' feature request that should only be tackled after the other issues have been solved
