Hm, needed a while for the incantation:

        echo "InfoKey: Title" > $1_pdfinfo.txt
	sed -n -e 's/^[[:blank:]]*title.* \"\(.*\)\"\s*$/InfoValue: \1/p'  
$1.ly >> $1_pdfinfo.txt
        echo "InfoKey: Author" >> $1_pdfinfo.txt
	sed -n -e 's/^[[:blank:]]*poet.* \"\(.*\)\"\s*$/InfoValue: \1/p'  
$1.ly >> $1_pdfinfo.txt
        echo "InfoKey: Composer" >> $1_pdfinfo.txt
	sed -n -e 's/^[[:blank:]]*composer.* \"\(.*\)\"\s*$/InfoValue: \1/p'  
$1.ly >> $1_pdfinfo.txt
        echo "InfoKey: Subject" >> $1_pdfinfo.txt
	sed -n -e 's/^[[:blank:]]*source.* \"\(.*\)\"\s*$/InfoValue: \1/p'  
$1.ly >> $1_pdfinfo.txt
        pdftk $1.pdf update_info $1_pdfinfo.txt output $1.pdf
        #open $1.pdf
        rm $1_pdfinfo.txt

I was too tired for trying more tricks to get poet and composer  
together into the Author field; sed doesn't understand "or" patterns  
like (poet|composer)

But I still think LilyPond could do this internally...
