Indeed. Building lilypond with --bigpdfs enabled by default is a good
test for that code, nothing more, nothing less. It passes that test.

If you use pdftex, xetex, luatex or other TeX dialects that are able to
directly include pdfs produced by lilypond and if you use that feature
a lot, the --bigpdfs code will help you to reduce the file size of your
final document significantly.

Typical use would be a dissertation, a song book, etc.
