Yes, I already have it set up this way.  Each chapter is a separate 
.lytex file, and each of the exercises and musical examples is a 
separate .ly file.  There's an main index file containing the preamble 
and links to each of the chapter files via \input{filename.lytex}.  The 
structure of the project is working great.  I wrote a shell script that 
runs the lilypond book command and opens the dvi file for preview, or if 
I include a -p flag it converts the dvi file to .pdf and then opens it 
for preview.

I'll share the workbook once it's in decent shape.  Glad you're 
interested :)
