It's not especially clever, but I wouldn't dream of using
lilypond-book without a Makefile to run the commands.  So just set the
Makefile up and run that from emacs. (Or presumably jedit, but I don't
use that.)

My Makefile says:

%.pdf:  %.lytex *.ly *.bib Makefile
         lilypond-book --output=out --psfonts $*.lytex
         cd out;eps-fix-bounding.sh $*.tex;latex $*.tex;bibtex $*.aux;dvips 
$(DVIPSOPTS) -h $*.psfonts -o ../$*.ps $*.dvi
#        cd out;latex $*.tex;bibtex $*.aux;dvips $(DVIPSOPTS) -h $*.psfonts -o 
../$*.ps $*.dvi
         ps2pdf $*.ps $*.pdf

You might not need to worry about the bibliography, and if you're
not printing double sided you might not have to do the workaround
(eps-fix-bounding.sh) for lilypond-book shifting everything to the
right of where it should be, but even without that, I wouldn't try to
do it without a Makefile.

If you don't need the eps-fix-bounding workaround, you may prefer to
use pdflatex rather than dvips and ps2pdf, but there's some reason I
couldn't get the workaround to work in that context.
