If Shelagh hasn't actually authored any of ob-lilypond.el (or at least
hasn't authored more than 10 lines of) then we could simply remove her
name from the authors list and include it into the Org-mode core.  This
however may not be the best long-term solution if you anticipate her
increased participation later-on in the project.  Please let me know
(soon) if you would like me to make this change.

Alright, I think we can wait for this integration, but please don't
delete your github repo in the mean time as I would like to fold this
test suite in at some point.

Ultimately this points to the more general issue of how to include Babel
language-specific tests into the Org-mode test suite s.t. they can be
executed independently of the core of the test suite.
