Hi Urs,
if you're not married to LaTeX, I'd suggest ConTeXt - I use its filter module 
to call LilyPond during TeX "compiler" runs (and it’s intelligent enough to 
recompile only changed LilyPond sections).
This workflow works good for my songbooklets, but I guess you'd need some 
tweaking if you need to embed a lot of little snippets. And AFAIR it doesn’t 
support multi page scores as well, but we should be able to add support for 
that with a bit of Lua code.
