Indeed it's a drawback when a package is limited to a single LaTeX 
engine. But if on the other hand this LaTeX engine provides support for 
features that enable stuff in the first place there's nothing wrong with 
using it, just because others can't.

lilyglyphs works with both XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. Initially I created it 
for XeLaTeX, but Dave Bellows helped me making it compatible with both. 
Quite some time ago.
