I guess the following will work:

@iftex
@lilypondfile[some settings]{rhythms-headword.ly}
@endiftex

@ifnottex
@lilypondfile[some other settings]{rhythms-headword.ly}
@end ifnottex

I hope it's not necessary to have one .ly file for each output format.
lilypond-book will produce both PDF and PNG output for both snippets,
but we currently can't avoid it.
