AFAICS, it's only the regexp that caters for both options before and after 
{lilypond}, so I don't think it's really a complication. We might want to add 
a comment in the code, though, that we kept options before {lilypond} only for 
backward compatibility.

Hmm, with such a time horizon, I'm beginning to think about the \cresc, \dim 
and \decresc text commands again. Shall we really wait that long?

Cheers,
