Perhaps <lilypond midi="true"> or <lilypond midi>-- I think it'd be 
better
to use the same tag, just with different options.  The way this is 
implemented
in WikiTeX is to link the generated image to the generated MIDI file, 
which
seems like a pretty good idea.

OK, so I guess we would be able to use set-octavation, but perhaps not 
some
of the more advanced tricks.

Would this make it impossible to use accented characters in the header?
(Is that even the preferred way to do accented characters anymore?)
