Here is a modified version, that calls `lilypond` only when needed by computing a md5 hash of the content.

A good idea.

What about making a package out of that and putting it on CTAN ? It would be more universal than lyluatex, so I think many could be interrested. And why not put it on a public repository, to have bug reports and feature requests ?

Well, I think lilypond-user is a good place to publish code related to a lilypond/latex interface. Yes, it would be possible to make a latex .sty file and publish it on CTAN - but there are projects that are more important to me right now. Before I'd think of putting a style based on this code on CTAN, at least the following problems should be solved:
  • Extended error handling is necessary.
  • A check if write18 really is available should be implemented.
  • A check for supported ghostscript / lilypond versions should be implemented.
  • We must adapt command lines to the ghostscript / lilypond versions found.
  • Support also win/mac platforms.
  • Support of pure latex.
  • Optionally synchronize global-staff-size to the design size of the latex document class.
  • Some code to optionally synchronize fonts and fontsizes used by latex and lilypond would be nice.
  • It should be possible to automatically deleted temporary files.
  • Everything should be properly documented.
  • ...
Nothing of that is complicated, but it takes some time.
