Yes, it would.

From

    The construct #{ … #} can now be used not just for constructing
    sequential music lists, but also for pitches (distinguished from
    single note events by the absence of a duration or other information
    that can’t be part of a pitch), single music events, void music
    expressions, post events, markups (mostly freeing users from having
    to use the markup macro), markup lists, number expressions, context
    definitions and modifications, and a few other things. If it
    encloses nothing or only a single music event, it no longer returns
    a sequential music list but rather a void music expression or just
    the music event itself, respectively.

Granted, books and scores are not listed explicitly but rather as "and a
few other things".  Perhaps a bit reckless.
