I don't understand why lilypond-book should do it differently.
The only thing lilypond-book should do to a LaTeX document is
to find all the \begin{lilypond}...\end{lilypond}, run these
fragments through lilypond and replace them by a statement that
inputs the resulting tex file. If the LaTeX document is split
into several files using \input or \include, lilypond-book should
just go through all the files in the document following the same
procedure. If, for some weird reason, an included files contains
\endinput, I wouldn't expect lilypond-book to realize that it
could skip the rest of the document but the result should work
anyway, right?
