Other than the things you mentioned, looks great.  See it in action here:
http://opihi.cs.uvic.ca/~gperciva/lilypond/Documentation/index.html

One note: click on the image, and see the source.  All the headwords 
will have the same \paper{} section; you simply create great stuff in 
the "ly snippet" section.  This way you should be able to see exactly 
what the doc output will look like.

If you'd rather have the headwords with slightly different 
specifications (larger font, slightly changed line-widths), that's 
possible... but I'd like every headword to have the same specs.

Don't miss the #(set-global-staff-size)  -- that should be placed inside 
the cut-&-paste section.  I'll file a bug report about that.


One concern: is Ravel mutopia-worthy?  How long has he been dead?  I 
hate to ask, but... :(

IIRC this feature was removed in 1.6 or so (because it wasn't a smart 
way :)  and was never re-implemented (in a smart way).
